~ The virtue of the camera is not the power it has to transform the photographer into an artist, but the impulse it gives him to keep on looking. ~
~ Photography can never grow up if it imitates some other medium. It has
to walk alone; it has to be itself. ~
~ I love the medium of photography, for with its unique realism it gives me the power to go beyond conventional ways of seeing and understanding and say, "This is real, too." ~
~ Unlike any other visual image, a photograph is not a rendering, an imitation or an interpretation of its subject, but actually a trace of it. No painting
or drawing, however naturalist, belongs to its subject in the way that a photograph does. ~
~ The goal is not to change your subjects, but for the subject to change the photographer. ~
~ Buying a Nikon doesn't make you a photographer. It makes you a Nikon owner. ~
~ The camera cannot lie, but it can be an accessory to untruth. ~
~ A picture is worth a thousand words; a slide show is both. ~
~ A photograph is a portrait painted by the sun ~
~ For me, photographs take their power from memory and emotion. A picture tells its own story, shaped by the mood or insights of the person you are at the time you see it. It becomes layered with the past and the present. It need not be of people you k ~
~ A good picture is equivalent to a good deed. ~
~ A mad, keen photographer needs to get out into the world and work and make mistakes. ~
~ Notebook. No photographer should be without one ~
~ Anonymous Senseless photographers practice random acts of beauty; intelligent photographers practice consistent acts of selflessness. ~
~ If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough. ~
