Some of my favorite photography quotes: “ You don’t
take a photograph, you make it." - Ansel Adams “ Beauty can be seen
in all things, seeing and composing the beauty is what separates the snapshot from the photograph." – Matt Hardy “ You’ve got to push yourself harder. You’ve got to start looking
for pictures nobody else could take. You’ve got to take the tools you have and probe deeper." – William Albert
Allard “The important thing is not the camera but the eye.”
– Alfred Eisenstaedt “The word ‘art’ is very
slippery. It really has no importance in relation to one’s work. I work for the pleasure, for the pleasure of the work,
and everything else is a matter for the critics.” -Manuel Alvarez Bravo “If you see something that moves you, and then snap it, you keep
a moment.” – Linda McCartney "You don’t take a photograph, you make it.”
-Ansel Adams “It’s one thing to make a picture of what a person looks like, it’s another thing to make a
portrait of who they are.” – Paul Caponigro "As I have practiced it,
photography produces pleasure by simplicity. I see something special and show it to the camera. A picture is produced. The
moment is held until someone sees it. Then it is theirs." ~ Sam Abell "I
think a photography class should be a requirement in all educational programs because it makes you see the world rather than
just look at it." ~Author Unknown "A
good snapshot stops a moment from running away." ~Eudora Welty "A great photograph is a full expression of what
one feels about what is being photographed in the deepest sense, and is, thereby, a true expression of what one feels about
life in its entirety." ~Ansel Adams
"I never question what to do, it tells me what to
do. The photographs make themselves with my help." ~Ruth Bernhard
"All photographs are there
to remind us of what we forget. In this - as in other ways - they are the opposite of paintings. Paintings record
what the painter remembers. Because each one of us forgets different things, a photo more than a painting may change
its meaning according to who is looking at it." ~John Berger
"I didn't want to tell the tree or
weed what it was. I wanted it to tell me something and through me express its meaning in nature." ~Wynn Bullock

the Day"...
