Photographer Quotes...

Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever... it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.” - Aaron Siskind


Look, I'm not an intellectual - I just take pictures.” - Helmut Newton


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


Sometimes I enjoy just photographing the surface because I think it can be as revealing as going to the heart of the matter - Annie Leibovitz


I've worked out of a series of no's. No to exquisite light, no to apparent compositions, no to the seduction of poses or narrative. And all these no's force me to the "yes." I have a white background. I have the person I'm interested in and the thing that happens between us. -Richard Avedon


To create one's world in any of the arts takes courage. - Georgia O'Keeffe
