Photography means man's final domination over time. It's our only way of proving that we were here, that we lived and existed, that we went to places and saw things, if only for 1/2000th of a second, and found a way to make time stop, and enjoy that moment forever.- Matthew Shelley
Not everybody trusts paintings but people believe photographs. - Ansel Adams
There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs. - Ansel Adams
Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again. - Henri Cartier-Bresson
Some see things the way they are and ask, "Why?" I dream things that never were, and ask "Why not?" - George Bernard Shaw
When Jack London had his portrait made by the noted San Francisco photographer Arnold Genthe, London began the encounter with effusive praise for the photographic art of his friend and fellow bohemian, Genthe. "you must have a wonderful camera...It must be the best camera in the world...You must show me your camera." Genthe then used his standard studio camera to make what has since become a classic picture of Jack London. When the sitting was finished, Genthe could not contain himself: "I have read your books, Jack, and I think they are important works of art. You must have a wonderful typewriter."
Alfread Stieglitz was once asked: "how does a photographer learn?" He answered without even a second’s hesitation: "By looking". - Alfred Stieglitz
