“ To be a photographer, you have to be a poet.”
“ A great photograph is a full expression of what one feels about what is being photographed in the deepest sense.” “ I think the best way to prepare for the future is to be present now.” “ The only thing worse than a bad photograph is a dull one.” “ The only thing worse than a bad photograph is a dull photograph.” “ The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.” “ Photography is more than a medium for factual communication of ideas. It is a creative art.” “ The best thing about a picture is that it never changes, even when the people in it do.” “ A great photograph is a full expression of what one feels about what is being photographed in the deepest sense, and is, in fact, a true reflection of the photographer’s own being.” “ A photograph is usually looked at – seldom looked into.” “ In wisdom gathered over time I have found that every experience is a form of exploration.” “ There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs.” “ You don’t take a photograph, you make it.” “ A great photograph is a full expression of what one feels about what is being photographed in the deepest sense, and is, in fact, a true reflection of what one feels about life in its entirety.” “ A great photograph is a full expression of what one feels about what is being photographed.” “ A great photograph is a full expression of what one feels about what is being photographed in the deepest sense, and is, in fact, a true reflection of the photographer.” |

The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.
You don’t take a photograph, you make it. A great photograph is a full expression of what one feels about what is being photographed. In wisdom gathered over time, I have found that every experience is a form of exploration. There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs. A great photograph is a full expression of what one feels about what is being photographed in the deepest sense. |
