Text Quotes
There’s something arbitrary about taking a picture. So I can stand at the edge of a highway and take one step forward and it can be a natural landscape untouched by man and I can take one step back and include a guardrail and change the meaning of the picture radically... I can take a picture of a person at one moment and make them look contemplative and photograph them two seconds later and make them look frivolous  (Photograph Quotes) No amount of toying with shades of print or with printing papers will transform a commonplace photograph into anything other than a commonplace photograph  (Photograph Quotes) For me a photograph is most successful when it doesn’t answer all the questions and it leaves something to be desired  (Photograph Quotes) People will never understand the patience a photographer requires to make a great photograph, all they see is the end result. I can stand in front of a leaf with a dew drop, or a rain drop, and stay there for ages just waiting for the right moment. Sure, people think I’m crazy, but who cares? I see more than they do!  (Photograph Quotes) The picture is not made by the photographer, the picture is more good or less good in function of the relationship that you have with the people you photograph  (Photograph Quotes) Art is what we do. Culture is what is done to us. A photograph of an art object is not the art object. An essay about an artist’s work is not the artist’s work  (Photograph Quotes) It comes down to risk, again and again. If you risk coming out, if you risk making pictures that aren’t good, you might discover something in a photograph that is the key. The very doorway to your own interest  (Photograph Quotes) Quit trying to find beautiful objects to photograph. Find the ordinary objects so you can transform it by photographing it  (Photograph Quotes) If you can smell the street by looking at the photo, it’s a street photograph  (Photograph Quotes) I had no aspirations to become a landscape photographer at all. In fact it was portraiture that was my beginning, I suppose. I have always been a very keen walker, though, and I often took a camera with me on my walks. But I was, and still am, an avid reader and so when I first started I chose to photograph many of the great writers in this country to try and earn a living  (Photograph Quotes) I dug myself a garden, and a stray cat I grew to like would come around to sulk in the corn. I forced myself to seek new love, and for a while, I thought I’d found it with a girl from my office. She was molten in my bed, but she also suffered depressions that were very dear to her. She would often call just to sigh at me for two hours on the phone, wanting me to applaud her depth of feeling. I cut if off, then missed her, wishing that I’d at least had the sense to take her naked photograph  (Photograph Quotes) The real truth of life is on the streets. Photograph the daily lives of people, and how they exist, and how they fight for space and time and pleasure  (Photograph Quotes) To me a photograph is a page from life, and that being the case, it must be real  (Photograph Quotes) For me a nude photograph should be erotic, not devoid of emotion. The body is a sensual thing, sensuality being one of its most beautiful and meaningful qualities  (Photograph Quotes) I photograph continuously, often without a good idea or strong feelings. During this time the photos are nearly all poor, but I believe they develop my seeing and help later on in other photos. I do believe strongly in photography and hope by following it intuitively that when the photographs are looked at they will touch the spirit in people  (Photograph Quotes) Do not place a photograph of your favourite author on your desk, especially if the author is one of the famous ones who committed suicide  (Photograph Quotes) We know that photographs inform people. We also know that photographs move people. The photograph that does both is the one we want to see and make  (Photograph Quotes) The key is to photograph your obsessions, whether that’s old people’s hands or skyscrapers. Think of a blank canvas, because that’s what you’ve got, and then think about what you want to see. Not anyone else  (Photograph Quotes) I have been so very, very fortunate in my life. I’ve met or been in contact with several of my childhood heroes. I’ve interacted with people all over this planet, and even though I couldn’t possibly hope to remember all their names, I remember a photograph, a poem, a sound, a joke, kind words of encouragement. All is not lost  (Photograph Quotes) One of the things that I most believe in is the compose and wait philosophy of photography. It’s a very satisfying, almost spiritual way to photograph. Life isn’t’ knocking you around, life isn’t controlling you. You have picked your place, you’ve picked your scene, you’ve picked your light, you’ve done all the decision making and you are waiting for the moment to come to you  (Photograph Quotes) The photograph may be presented as finely and artistically as you will; but to merit serious consideration, must be directly connected with the world we live in  (Photograph Quotes) Sometimes I photograph without looking through the viewfinder. I have mastered that well enough, it is almost as if I were looking through it  (Photograph Quotes) To be a photographer, one must photograph. No amount of book learning, no checklist of seminars attended, can substitute for the simple act of making pictures  (Photograph Quotes) The only thing that gets in the way of a really good photograph, is the camera  (Photograph Quotes) The eye is made to see and not to think... A good photograph is a surprise. How could we plan and foresee a surprise? We just have to be ready  (Photograph Quotes) I like to photograph people who have strength and dignity in their faces. Whatever life has done to them, it hasn’t destroyed them  (Photograph Quotes) If each photograph steals a bit of the soul, isn’t it possible that I give up pieces of mine every time I take a picture?  (Photograph Quotes) A photograph is just a tiny slice of a subject. A piece of them in a moment. It seems presumptuous to think you can get more than that  (Photograph Quotes) What I want is the world to remember the problems and the people I photograph. What I want is to create a discussion about what is happening around the world and to provoke some debate with these pictures. Nothing more than this. I don’t want people to look at them and appreciate the light and the palate of tones. I want them to look inside and see what the pictures represent, and the kind of people I photograph  (Photograph Quotes) There comes a moment when it is no longer you who takes the photograph, but receives the way to do it quite naturally and fully  (Photograph Quotes)
