Painting With Light
How Does It Feel
Don’t shoot what it looks like. Shoot what it feels like.
– David Alan Harvey
Observation
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
A Moment Captured
For me, the subject of the picture is always more important than the picture.
– Diane Arbus
Defy Explanation
The whole point of taking pictures is so that you don’t have to explain things with words.
– Elliott Erwitt
Captured for Eternity
A photograph can be an instant of life captured for eternity that will never cease looking back at you.
– Brigitte Bardot
What is Art?
A state of mind. It’s what you get in what you see.
Art is what we call the thing an artist does. It’s not the medium or the oil or the price or whether it hangs on a wall or you eat it. What matters, what makes it art, is that the person who made it overcame the resistance, ignored the voice of doubt and made something worth making. Something risky. Something human. Art is not in the eye of the beholder. It’s in the soul of the artist.
– Seth Godin
Camera as an Artist’s Tool
“For me, the camera is a sketch book, an instrument of intuition and spontaneity.”
– Henri Cartier-Bresson
The Photographer
“The single most important component of a camera is the twelve inches behind it!”
– Ansel Adams
