Photographic quotes:

Gunter Grass: "What novel - or what else in the world - can have the epic scope of a photograph album?"

Ambrose Bierce: "Photograph - a picture painted by the sun without instruction in art."

Henri Cartier Bresson: "The photograph itself doesn't interest me. I want only to capture a minute part of reality."

Man Ray: "Of course, there will always be those who look only at technicque, who ask "how," while others of a more curious nature will ask "why." Personally, I have always preferred inspiration to information."

W. H. Auden: "The ear tends to be lazy, craves the familiar and is shocked by the unexpected; the eye, on the other hand, tends to be impatient, craves the novel and is bored by repetition."

Elliott Erwitt: "You can find pictures anywhere. It's simply a matter of noticing things and organizing them. You just have to care about what's around you and have a concern with humanity and the human comedy."

Italo Calvino: "The line between the reality that is photographed because it seems beautiful to us and the reality that seems beautiful because it has been photographed is very narrow."

Italo Calvino: "To beleive that the snapshot is more true than the posed photograph is a prejudice..."
