• A dream collage is pictures of your goals. It is like your future photo album. ~ Bo Bennett
• Before a painter puts a brush to his canvas he sees his picture mentally…. If you think of yourself in terms of a painting, what do you see?… Is the picture one you think worth painting?… You create yourself in the image you hold in your mind. ~ Thomas Dreier
• Digital has obviously changed things a lot, but not all for the better as far as I’m concerned. Of course it’s much more convenient and you’re getting instant results, but to me it just lacks the finesse of a roll of film and it has a slightly superimposed feel. ~ Graeme Le Saux
• I’d very much like to create my own style as a photographer, even if it’s just for myself. ~ Graeme Le Saux
• Many pictures turn out to be limp translations of the known world instead of vital objects which create an intrinsic world of their own. There is a vast difference between taking a picture and making a photograph. ~ Robert Heinecken
• Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face, the beauty of the earth and skies that man has inherited and the wealth and confusion man has created. ~ Edward Steichen
• We have been endowed with the capacity and the power to create desirable pictures within and to find them automatically in the outer world of our environment. ~ John McDonald

A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you the less you know.~ Diane Arbus

The virtue of the camera is not the power it has to transform the photographer into an artist, but the impulse it gives him to keep on looking.~ Brooks Atkinson

Too many photographers try too hard. They try to lift photography into the realm of Art, because they have an inferiority complex about their Craft. You and I would see more interesting photography if they would stop worrying, and instead, apply horse-sense to the problem of recording the look and feel of their own era.~ Jessie Tarbox Beals
It takes a lot of imagination to be a good photographer. You need less imagination to be a painter, because you can invent things. But in photography everything is so ordinary; it takes a lot of looking before you learn to see the ordinary.~ David Bailey

I have often thought that if photography were difficult in the true sense of the term — meaning that the creation of a simple photograph would entail as much time and effort as the production of a good watercolor or etching — there would be a vast improvement in total output. The sheer ease with which we can produce a superficial image often leads to creative  disaster.~Ansel Adams

If photography is allowed to stand in for art in some of its functions it will soon supplant or corrupt it completely thanks to the natural support it will find in the stupidity of the multitude. It must return to its real task, which is to be the servant of the sciences and the arts, but the very humble servant, like printing and shorthand which have neither created nor supplanted literature.~ Charles Baudelaire
