~ Photography is my passion. ~
~ The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera. ~
~ Above all, I craved to seize the whole essence, in the confines of one single photograph, of some situation that was in the process of unrolling itself before my eyes. ~
~ Light glorifies everything. It transforms and ennobles the most commonplace and ordinary subjects. The object is nothing; light is everything. ~
~ Of course, there will always be those who look only at technicque, who ask "how," while others of a more curious nature will ask "why." Personally, I have always preferred inspiration to information. ~
~ No matter how slow the film, spirit always stands still long enough for the photographer it has chosen. ~
~ Many pictures turn out to be limp translations of the known world instead of vital objects which create an intrinsic world of their own. There is a vast difference between taking a picture and making a photograph. ~
~ If you are not passionately devoted to an idea, you can make very pleasant pictures but they won't make you cry. ~
~ There is no art which affords less opportunity to execute expression than photography. Everything is concentrated in a few seconds, when after perhaps an hours seeking, waiting, and hesitation, the photographer sees the realization of his inward vision, and in that moment he has one advantage over most arts - his medium is swift enough to record his momentary inspiration ~
~ Photographs are perhaps the most mysterious of all the objects that make up, and thicken, the environment we recognize as modern. Photographs really are experience captured, and the camera is the ideal arm of consciousness in its acquisitive mood. ~
~ The two most engaging powers of a photographer are to make new things familiar and familiar things new. ~
~ The meaning of quality in photography's best pictures lies written in the language of vision. That language is learned by chance, not system. ~
~ When subject matter is forced to fit into preconceived patterns, there can be no freshness of vision. ~
~ Pictures are wasted unless the motive power which impelled you to action is strong and stirring. ~
~ The world is going to pieces and people like Adams and Weston are photographing rocks! ~
