| gptkbp:famous_quote |
“ The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.”
“ The photograph is not a picture of the world, but a picture of the way the world is seen.” “ To photograph is to hold one’s breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality.” “ There is nothing worse than a sharp image of a fuzzy concept.” “ It is through the photograph that I can see the world.” “ The decisive moment, it is the moment that you have to capture.” “ The camera is a tool for learning how to see without a camera.” “ The photograph is a way of seeing.” “ I am convinced that there are only two kinds of photography: the one that is done with the heart and the one that is done with the head.” “ The decisive moment, it is the moment when you can see the soul of the world.” “ Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst.” “ The most important thing is to look at the world with a sense of wonder.” “ The photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you, the less you know.” “ The decisive moment is the moment that reveals the essence of the subject.” “ In photography, the smallest thing can be a great subject.” “ The decisive moment is the moment that you can see the world.” “ I don’t believe in photography, I believe in the photograph.” “ There is nothing in this world that does not have a decisive moment.” “ The photograph is not a picture of the world, it is a picture of the way I see the world.” “ The photograph is a way of life.” “ It is through the human figure that I find the most beautiful forms.” “ It is through the photograph that I can express my vision.” “ There is nothing worse than a photograph that is not a photograph.” “ It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head.” “ The photograph is not a picture of the world, but a piece of it.” “ The decisive moment is the moment that you can’t repeat.” “ The photograph is not a picture of the world, but a picture of the way we see the world.” “ To photograph is to hold one’s breath when all faculties converge in the face of fleeing reality.” “ Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving.” “ The photograph is a way of capturing emotions.” “ The photograph is a way of understanding ourselves.” “ The photograph is a way of preserving history.” “ I am not interested in shooting new things, I am interested to see things new.” “ The photograph is a way of capturing reality.” “ The photograph is a reflection of the world.” “ The photograph is a way of seeing the unseen.” “ The photograph is a way of revealing the extraordinary.” “ The photograph is a way of seeing the world.” “ The photograph is a way of celebrating moments.” “ The camera is a tool for learning how to see.” “ The photograph is a way of expressing oneself.” “ The photograph is a way of appreciating life.” “ The photograph is a way of understanding the world.” “ There is a creative fraction of a moment, and it is up to you to capture it.” “ A photograph is not an accident—it is a concept.” “ The decisive moment is the moment that you can see the world in a way that is unique to you.” “ The photograph is a way of experiencing the moment.” “ The photograph is a way of exploring the familiar.” “ The photograph is not a picture of something, but a trace of a moment.” “ The photograph is a way of exploring the unknown.” “ The photograph is not a picture of the world, it is a picture of the way the world is seen.” “ The photograph is a way of sharing experiences.” “ The decisive moment is the moment that you can see the world in a different way.” “ The photograph is a way of reflecting on life.” “ The photograph is a way of sharing perspectives.” “ The photograph is a way of engaging with the world.” “ The decisive moment is the moment that you see.” “ The photograph is a way of cherishing memories.” “ The photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you the less you know.” “ A photograph is not an accident—it is a deliberate act.” “ The decisive moment, it is the moment when the photographer has to take the picture.” “ I am convinced that there are only two things that matter in photography: the subject and the light.” “ The photograph is a way of connecting with others.” “ The photograph is a way of interpreting reality.” “ What is important is to look, to see, to feel.” “ The photograph is a way of capturing the essence of life.” “ The photograph is a way of discovering beauty.” “ The photograph is a way of discovering the ordinary.” “ I am a photographer, not a painter.” “ In photography, there are no rules.” “ The decisive moment is a moment of grace.” “ The moment is the essence of photography.” “ The photograph is a moment in time.” “ The photograph is a way of appreciating.” “ The photograph is a way of communicating.” “ The photograph is a way of connecting.” “ The photograph is a way of creating.” “ The photograph is a way of discovering.” “ The photograph is a way of engaging.” “ The photograph is a way of experiencing.” “ The photograph is a way of exploring.” “ The photograph is a way of expressing.” “ The photograph is a way of interpreting.” “ The photograph is a way of reflecting.” “ The photograph is a way of relating.” “ The photograph is a way of sharing.” “ The photograph is a way of telling a story.” “ The photograph is a way of understanding.” “ The photograph is a way of valuing.” “ The photograph is a way of conveying messages.” “ The photograph is a way of expressing feelings.” “ It is through the human figure that one sees the world.” “ The photograph is not a picture of a thing, but a thing itself.” |

“ The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.”
“ The best thing about a picture is that it never changes, even when the people in it do.” “ The photograph is not a picture of the world, but a picture of the way the world is seen.” “ To photograph is to hold one’s breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality.” “ There is nothing worse than a sharp image of a fuzzy concept.” “ The most important thing is to be able to see.” “ It is through the photograph that I can see the world.” “ The camera is a tool for learning how to see without a camera.” “ The photograph is a way of seeing.” “ I am convinced that there are only two kinds of photography: the one that is done with the heart and the one that is done with the head.” “ Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst.” “ The most important thing is to look at the world with a sense of wonder.” “ The photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you, the less you know.” “ In photography, the smallest thing can be a great subject.” “ The decisive moment is the moment that you can see the world.” “ I don’t believe in photography, I believe in the photograph.” “ There is nothing in this world that does not have a decisive moment.” “ The decisive moment is the moment that all the elements come together.” “ The photograph is a way of life.” “ It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head.” “ Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving.” “ The photograph is a way of capturing the richness of experience.” “ The photograph is a way of capturing the soul of a person.” “ I am not interested in shooting new things, I am interested to see things new.” “ The photograph is a way of capturing reality.” “ The photograph is a way of capturing the wonder of existence.” “ The photograph is a way of capturing emotion.” “ The photograph is a way of seeing the world.” “ The photograph is a way of expressing oneself.” “ The photograph is a way of capturing beauty.” “ The photograph is a way of understanding the world.” “ A photograph is not an accident—it is a concept.” “ There is a creative fraction of a second when you are taking a picture.” “ The photograph is a way of capturing the beauty of life.” “ The photograph is a way of capturing the intricacies of the world.” “ The photograph is a way of capturing the joy of living.” “ The decisive moment is the moment that creates the photograph.” “ The photograph is a way of capturing the complexity of life.” “ The photograph is a way of capturing the spirit of a place.” “ I think that photography is a way of seeing the world.” “ The decisive moment is the moment that you can see the world in a different way.” “ A photograph can only represent the present. Once photographed, the subject becomes part of the past.” “ The photograph is a way of capturing the essence of time.” “ The photograph is a way of capturing the moment.” “ The photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you the less you know.” “ The photograph is a way of capturing the essence of humanity.” “ I am convinced that there are only two things that matter in photography: the subject and the light.” “ The photograph is a way of capturing the magic of life.” “ The photograph is a way of capturing the essence of the human experience.” “ The photograph is a way of capturing the fleeting nature of life.” “ The photograph is a way of capturing the essence of a moment.” “ The photograph is a way of capturing the subtleties of existence.” “ The photograph is a moment that is frozen in time.” “ The photograph is a way of capturing the depth of feeling.” “ The photograph is a way of capturing the nuances of life.” “ I don’t believe in photography as a way of capturing reality.” “ What is important is to look, to see, to feel.” “ The photograph is a way of capturing the beauty of the moment.” “ I am a photographer, not a painter.” “ I don’t believe in photography.” “ The image is a reflection of the world.” “ The moment always dictates.” “ The photograph is a secret about a secret.” “ The photograph is a way of capturing life.” “ The photograph is a way of communicating.” “ The photograph is a way of telling a story.” “ You have to be ready to make a photograph.” “ The photograph is a way of capturing the truth.” “ A photograph is a moment that has been captured forever.” |

“ To photograph is to hold one’s breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality.”
“ There is nothing worse than a sharp image of a fuzzy concept.” “ The photograph is not a picture of the world, but a piece of it.” |
