| gptkbp:famousQuote |
“I never think of myself as an artist. I think of myself as a person who takes pictures.”
“I think the best thing about photography is that it’s a way of seeing.” “I really believe there are things nobody would see if I didn’t photograph them.” “A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you, the less you know.” “The thing that’s important to know is that you never know. You’re always sort of feeling your way.” |
