Different thinking applicable towards photography:

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

-" We try to grab pieces of our lives as they speed past us. Photographs freeze those pieces and help us remember how we were. We don't know these lost people but if you look around, you'll find someone just like them."

-" Maybe because it's entirely an artist's eye, patience and skill that makes an image and not his tools."

-" You know what a camera is? A mirror with memory."

-" No matter how advanced your camera you still need to be responsible for getting it to the right place at the right time and pointing it in the right direction to get the photo you want."

-" Most things in life are moments of pleasure and a lifetime of embarrassment; photography is a moment of embarrassment and a lifetime of pleasure."

-" The virtue of the camera is not the power it has to transform the photographer into an artist, but the impulse it gives him to keep on looking."

-" A photograph is neither taken nor seized by force. It offers itself up. It is the photo that takes you. One must not take photos."

-" Photography can never grow up if it imitates some other medium. It has to walk alone; it has to be itself."

-" Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face, the beauty of the earth and skies that man has inherited and the wealth and confusion man has created."

-"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."

-" Not everybody trusts paintings but people believe photographs."

-"The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera."

-"There are always two people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer."

-"A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you the less you know. "

-“Photography is to capture one silent moment. No matter how fast the object moves, once the shutter pressed - everything stops.”

-"There is no such thing as inaccuracy in a photograph. All photographs are accurate. None of them is the truth."

-"Lost, yesterday, somewhere between Sunrise and Sunset, two golden hours, each set with sixty diamond minutes. No reward is offered, for they are gone forever."

-"They say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself."

-"The deepest craving of human nature is the need to be appreciated."

-"When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us."

-"There is a way that nature speaks, that land speaks. Most of the time we are simply not patient enough, quiet enough, to pay attention to the story."

-"Imagination is more important than knowledge. For while knowledge defines all we currently know and understand, imagination points to all we might yet discover and create."

-"Before you can inspire with emotion, you must be swamped with it yourself. Before you can move their tears, your own must flow. To convince them, you must yourself believe."

-"Opportunity is missed by most because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work."

-"Reality leaves a lot to the imagination."

-"Ah, good taste! What a dreadful thing! Taste is the enemy of creativeness"

-"Fear- is what keeps thousands of pictures from passing through the lens."
