| The virtue of the camera is not the power it | Photography is my passion. - Alfred |
| has to transform the photographer into an | Stieglitz |
| artist, but the impulse it gives him to keep on | |
| looking. - Brooks Anderson | [Photography] is a way of feeling, of touching, |
| | of loving. What you have caught on film is |
| One should really use the camera as though | captured forever . . . it remembers little things, |
| tomorrow you'd be stricken blind. | long after you have forgotten everything. |
| - Dorothea Lange | - Aaron Siskind |

| The difficulty with color is to go beyond the | Photography takes an instant out of time, |
| fact that it's color to have it be not just a | altering life by holding it still. - Dorothea |
| colorful picture but really be a picture about | Lange |
| 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 learn to see by practice. It's just like | Photography knows how to authenticate its |
| playing tennis, you get better the more you | misrepresentations. - Mason Cooley |
| play. The more you look around at things, the | |
| more you see. The more you photograph, the | You've got to push yourself harder. You've got |
| more you realize what can be photographed | to start looking for pictures nobody else could |
| and what can't be photographed. You just have | take. You've got to take the tools you have and |
| to keep doing it. - Eliot Porter | probe deeper. - William Albert Allard |

| A room hung with pictures is a room hung with | I think you have to have a real point of view |
| thoughts. - Sir Joshua Reynolds | 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 |
