Many pictures turn out to be limp

translations of the known world

instead of vital objects which create an

intrinsic world of their own. There is

a vast difference between taking

a picture and making a photograph.

- Robert Heinecken

Photographers deal in things

which are continually vanishing

and when they have vanished

there is no contrivance on earth

which can make them come back again.

- Henri Cartier Bresson

Photography to the amateur is recreation,

to the professional it is work,

and hard work too,

no matter how pleasurable it may be.

- Edward Weston

No matter how slow the film,

Spririt always stands still long enough

for the photographer It has chosen.

- Minor White

The camera doesn't make a bit of difference. All of them can record what you are seeing. But, you have to SEE.

- Ernst Haas

There are always two people

in every picture:

the photographer and the viewer.

- Ansel Adams
