| Once photography enters your bloodstream, | A mad, keen photographer needs to get out |
| it's like a disease. - Anon | into the world and work and make mistakes. |

| There is nothing worse than a sharp image of | |
| a fuzzy concept. - Ansel Adams | I almost never set out to photograph a |
| | landscape, nor do I think of my camera as a |
| Photography is my passion. - Alfred | means of recording a mountain or an animal |
| Stieglitz | unless I absolutely need a 'record shot'. My |
| | first thought is always of light. - Galen |
| [Photography] is a way of feeling, of touching, | Rowell |
| of loving. What you have caught on film is | |
| captured forever . . . it remembers little things, | |

| You learn to see by practice. It's just like | ...words and pictures can work together to |
| playing tennis, you get better the more you | communicate more powerfully than either |
| play. The more you look around at things, the | alone. -William Albert Allard |
| more you see. The more you photograph, the | |
| more you realize what can be photographed | Pictures you have taken have an influence on |
| and what can't be photographed. You just have | those that you are going to make. |
| to keep doing it. - Eliot Porter | That's life! - John Sexton |

| A great photograph is one that fully expresses | I think you have to have a real point of view |
| what one feels, in the deepest sense, about | that's your own. You have to tell it your way. |
| what is being photographed. - Ansel | And, I think that it's a mistake to shoot for a |
| Adams | 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 |
