| You learn to see by practice. It's just like | Photography is a major force in explaining |

| 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 |

| Photography takes an instant out of time, | My own eyes are no more than scouts on a |
| altering life by holding it still. - Dorothea | preliminary search, for the camera's eye may |

| Photography is my passion. - Alfred | |
| Stieglitz | The camera makes everyone a tourist in other |
| | people's reality. - Susan Sontag |
| There is nothing worse than a sharp image of | |
| a fuzzy concept. - Ansel Adams | 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. |
