Photo Quotes

.

Bill Jay says it best, I think ...

.

"Look, this is life. It is everywhere, and is here for the taking.
I am alive and I know this, now, in a more profound way than
when I am doing anything else. These sights are ephemeral,
fleeting treasures that have been offered to me,
and me alone. No other person in the history of the world, anywhere in all of time and space, has been granted this gift to be here in my place. And I am privileged, through the camera, to take this moment away with me.
That is why I photograph."
-- Bill Jay

.

"Photography, like any art, improves with experimentation. Great photographs don't usually come about as the result of extended navel-gazing sessions, but as the result of trying something, having it kind of work, making it better, exploring blind alleys, honing away unnecessary elements, and finally arriving at something worthwhile."
-- Jim Kasson
.

Beyond what you see, what do you think, feel, wonder, question, ponder, seek?
-- Brooks Jensen

.

"All photographs are self portraits."
-- Minor White

.

"The hardest thing in photography is to create a simple image."
-- Anne Geddes

.

"The camera is a fluid way of encountering that other reality."
-- Jerry Uelsmann

.

"I am deeply happy to have found my place,
camera in hand, in this world."
-- Josef Tornick

.

"Photography - it is the intersection at a specific time and place
between two lives - the life of the photographer
and the life of the subject."
-- Brooks Jensen

.

"The whole point of taking pictures is so that
you don't have to explain things with words."
-- Elliot Erwitt

.

"Photography helps me to organize a disordered world, to try to
make some sense and symmetry from
visual chaos and put a frame on infinity."
-- Robert Nagler

.

"[Photograph] not only what it is, but what else it is."
-- Minor White

.

"Photography is an ambiguous challenge to chance."
-- Guy Le Querrec

.

"You don't take a photograph, you make it."
-- Ansel Adams

.

"The question is not what you look at, but what you see."
-- Henry Thoreau

.

"You can't depend on your eyes if
your imagination is out of focus."
-- Mark Twain

.

Wiki definition of a photographer - a writer with light

.

Photographer - from the Greek
words for "light" and "I write" . . .

.

If you want to be an accomplished photographer,
photography needs be present with you every single day.
Do photography in the time you have. It's not a matter of having more hours in the day, but rather a matter of using
the ones you have so you can get something done.
-- Brooks Jensen
