"Photography isn't about cameras and lenses. Technique is a lot more important than what camera and lenses you use, and your taste is a lot more important than technique, and having something to say is a lot more important than having good taste, and working hard and following through is more important than having something to say. Believe me, great work has been done with worse cameras and lenses than you're using now, and absolutely sh***y work has been done with the most highfalutin' expensive collector cameras on the planet. It ain't the cameras." (Mike Johnston, editor of The Online Photographer, the best photography blog on the internet.)

"SIRS, I have received Act II, Scene II of “L’Acte Photographique”, wich you were kind enough to send me. I am deeply moved, and feel I must tell you how sensitive I am to your devotion to the action of our great masturbatory finger on the shutter connected to the subversive agent that is our visual organ ( see the dioptric of Descartes’s “Discourse on Method”).” (BRESSON, H. C. The mind’s eye: writings on photography and photographers. New York, 1999.)
