quotes
i just saw a great photography related quote so maybe i'll share: When I have a camera in my hand, I know no fear. -Alfred Eisenstaedt and while i'm at it, here's some more quotes that i like: If the photographer is interested in the people in front of his lens, and if he is compassionate, it's already a lot. The instrument is not the camera but the photographer. -Eve Arnold You have to devote yourself totally to be successful at it. -Elliott Erwitt If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough. -Robert Capa My job as a portrait photographer is to seduce, amuse and entertain. -Helmut Newton The photographer must be a part of the picture. -Arnold Newman If you are not passionately devoted to an idea, you can make very pleasant pictures but they won't make you cry. -Ruth Bernhard Never boss people around. It's more important to click with people than to click the shutter. -Alfred Eisenstaedt If I knew how to take a good photograph, I'd do it every time. -Robert Doisneau If you can't make it better make it bigger. -Anonymous Every time someone tells me how sharp my photos are, I assume that it isn't a very interesting photograph. If it was, they would have more to say. -Anonymous You sepia tone a bad print, and what you get is a bad sepia toned print. -Linda Cooley The limitations of photography are in yourself, for what we see is only what we are. -Ernst Haas Which of my photographs is my favorite? The one I'm going to take tomorrow. -Imogene Cunningham I really believe there are things nobody would see if I didn't photograph them. -Diane Arbus Great photography is about depth of feeling, not depth of field. - Peter Adams The hardest thing about being a photographer is, you have to take pictures. -Doug Bartlow Maybe the judgment of whether something is art or not should come from the viewer and not the doer. -Alan Babbitt The picture is good or not from the moment it was caught in the camera. -Henri Cartier-Bresson "They . . . asked me: "'How do you make your pictures?' I was puzzled . . . "I said, 'I don't know, it's not important.' -Henri Cartier-Bresson When gifts are given to me through my camera, I accept them graciously. -Minor White
