The Camera Can Photograph Thoughts.!

When you photograph people in colour you photograph their clothes. But when you photograph people in B&W, you photograph their souls!

A photograph is usually looked at – seldom looked into.

No photographer is as good as the simplest camera.

There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs.

My portraits are more about me than they are about the people I photograph.

You don’t take a photograph, you make it.

I hate cameras. They are so much more sure than I am about everything.

Sometimes I do get to places just when God’s ready to have somebody click the shutter.

You don’t take a photograph. You ask, quietly, to borrow it.

Buying a Nikon doesn’t make you a photographer. It makes you a Nikon owner

The camera can photograph thoughts!

We regard the photograph
The picture on our wall
As the object itself
Depicted there
This need not have been so
We could easily imagine people
Who did not have this relation to such pictures
Who, for example
Would be repelled by photographs
Because a face without color
And even perhaps a face in reduced proportions
Struck them as inhuman.

Ludwig Wittgenstein Quotes

Photography suits the temper of this age
Of active bodies and minds
It is a perfect medium for one whose mind is teeming with ideas
Imagery
For a prolific worker
Who would be slowed down by painting or sculpting
For one who sees quickly and acts decisively
Accurately.

Edward Weston Quotes

That the outer man is a picture of the inner
And the face an expression and revelation of the whole character
Is a presumption likely enough in itself
And therefore a safe one to go on
Borne out as it is by the fact
That people are always anxious
To see anyone who has made himself famous
Photography offers
The most complete satisfaction of our curiosity.

Arthur Schopenhauer Quotes
