~ A photograph is always invisible, it is not it that we see. ~
~ People think that all cameramen do is point the camera at things, but it's a heck of a lot more complicated than that ~
~ Just as a fisherman cannot catch fish unless his line is in the water, a wildlife photographer cannot shoot great wildlife images unless he or she is out there with camera in hand and the knowledge of what to do then the 'magnificent moment' occurs. ~
~ Life is like a good black and white photograph, there's black, there's white, and lots of shades in between ~
~ Photography concentrates one's eye on the superficial. For that reason it obscures the hidden life which glimmers through the outlines of things like a play of light and shade. One can't catch that even with the sharpest lens ~
~ Gives us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, oh yeah!
I got a Nikon camera, I love to take a photograph
So momma, don't take my Kodachrome away.. ~
~ Anything more than 500 yards from the car just isn't photogenic. ~
~ Passion is in all great searches and is necessary to all creative endeavors. ~
~ I wish more people felt that photography was an adventure the same as life itself and felt that their individual feelings were worth expressing. To me,
that makes photography more exciting. ~
~ The use of the term art medium is, to say the least, misleading, for it is the artist that creates a work of art not the medium. It is the artist in photography that gives form to content by a distillation of ideas, thought, experience, insight and understanding. ~
~ Of course, there will always be those who look only at technique, who ask "how," while others of a more curious nature will ask "why." Personally, I have always preferred inspiration to information. ~
~ Blessed be the inventor of photography! It has given more positive pleasure to poor suffering humanity than anything else that has "cast up" in my time -- this art by which even the "poor" can possess themselves of tolerable of their absent dear ones. ~
