"Simply look with perceptive eyes
at the world about you, and trust to your own reactions and convictions.
Ask yourself: "Does this subject move me to feel, think and
dream? Can I visualize a print--my own personal statement of what
I feel and want to convey--from the subject before me?"----Ansel Adams
"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."
----Brooks Anderson
"Photography for me is not
looking, it's feeling. If you can't feel what you're looking at,
then you're never going to get others to feel anything when they
look at your pictures."
----Diane Arbus
"To me, photography is the
simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance
of an event."
----Henri Cartier-Bresson
"My quest. through the magic
of light and shadow, is to isolate, to simplify and to give emphasis
to form with the greatest clarity."
----Ruth Bernhard
"But in photography everything
is so ordinary; it takes a lot of looking before you learn to
see the ordinary."
----David Bailey
