| Photography takes an instant out of time, | The virtue of the camera is not the power it |
| altering life by holding it still. - Dorothea | has to transform the photographer into an |
| Lange | artist, but the impulse it gives him to keep on |
| | looking. - Brooks Anderson |
| There is nothing worse than a sharp image of | |
| a fuzzy concept. - Ansel Adams | A mad, keen photographer needs to get out |
| | into the world and work and make mistakes. |
| Once photography enters your bloodstream, | - Sam Abell |
| it's like a disease. - Anon | |
| | The difficulty with color is to go beyond the |
| | fact that it's color to have it be not just a |
| | colorful picture but really be a picture about |
| | something. It's difficult. So often color gets |
| | caught up in color, and it becomes merely |
| | decorative. Some photographers use [ it ] |
| | brilliantly to make visual statements combining |
| | color and content; otherwise it is empty. |

| You've got to push yourself harder. You've got | You learn to see by practice. It's just like |
| to start looking for pictures nobody else could | playing tennis, you get better the more you |
| take. You've got to take the tools you have and | play. The more you look around at things, the |
| probe deeper. - William Albert Allard | more you see. The more you photograph, the |
| | more you realize what can be photographed |
| Photography knows how to authenticate its | and what can't be photographed. You just have |
| misrepresentations. - Mason Cooley | to keep doing it. - Eliot Porter |

| I think you have to have a real point of view | Keep it simple. - Alfred Eienstaedt |
| that's your own. You have to tell it your way. | |
| And, I think that it's a mistake to shoot for a | |
| specific magazine's point of view because it's | |
| never going to be as good. You have to shoot | |
| for yourself and photograph [the way] you | |
| believe it. - Mary Ellen Mark | |
