| Photography records the gamut of feelings | Now to consult the rules of composition before |
| written on the human face, the beauty of the | making a picture is a little like consulting the |
| earth and skies that man has inherited and the | law of gravitation before going for a walk. |
| wealth and confusion man has created. | Such rules and laws are deduced from the |
| - Edward Steichen | accomplished fact; they are the products of |
| | reflection . . . - Edward Weston |
| You've got to push yourself harder. You've got | |
| to start looking for pictures nobody else could | "Simply look with perceptive eyes at the |
| take. You've got to take the tools you have and | world about you, and trust to your own |
| probe deeper. - William Albert Allard | 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 |

| | A mad, keen photographer needs to get out |

| Allard | 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. |
