impression – Creative By Nature

Shaping it as it turns.

You don’t make a photograph just with a camera.
You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen,
the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.
– Ansel Adams

Coming in for a landing.

To photograph: it is to put on the same line of sight the head, the eye, and the heart.

Just stopping by for a drink.

No, you don’t shoot things. You capture them.
Photography means painting with light.
And that’s what you do.
You paint a picture only by adding light to the things you see.

The Way I See It

To me, photography is an art of observation.
It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place…
I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything
to do with the way you see them.
- Elliott Erwitt

Poetry for Your Eyes

When people look at my pictures I want them to feel the way they do
when they want to read a line of a poem... twice.
- Robert Frank

Momento Mori

All photographs are memento mori.
To take a photograph is to participate in another
person’s (or thing’s) mortality, vulnerability, mutability.
Precisely by slicing out this moment and freezing it,
all photographs testify to time’s relentless melt
- Susan Sontag

Snap Decisions and Snap Shots

A photojournalist makes snap decisions; based on the ability
to quickly assess situations and record one’s perceived truth.
- Jack Dykinga

Photogravity

To consult the rules of composition before making a picture
is a little like consulting the law of gravitation before going for a walk.
- Edward Weston

Time and Remebrance

Great photography is about depth of feeling, not depth of field.
– Peter Adams

Everything Changes

The best thing about a picture is that it never changes,
even when the people in it do.
- Andy Warhol
