photography looks interest
I don't have anything to say in any picture. My only interest in photography is to see what something looks like as a photograph. I have no preconceptions.
photography space pieces
A photograph is the illusion of a literal description of how the camera 'saw' a piece of time and space.
photography mistake emotion
Photographers mistake the emotion they feel while taking the photo as a judgment that the photograph is good
photography important technique
You have a lifetime to learn technique. But I can teach you what is more important than technique, how to see; learn that and all you have to do afterwards is press the shutter.
photography mean reality
For me the true business of photography is to capture a bit of reality (whatever that is) on film...if, later, the reality means something to someone else, so much the better.
photography teacher thinking
You know, I really don't think you learn from teachers. You learn from work. I think what you learn, really, is how to be- you have to be your own toughest critic, and you only learn that from work, from seeing work.
photography thinking two
I like to think of photographing as a two-way act of respect. Respect for the medium, by letting it do what it does best, describe. And respect for the subject, by describing it as it is. A photograph must be responsible to both.
photography great-photography edges
Great photography is always on the edge of failure.
photography battle form
Every photograph is a battle of form versus content.
photography saws photographer
If I saw something in my viewfinder that looked familiar to me, I would do something to shake it up.
photography facts mysterious
There is nothing as mysterious as a fact clearly described.
mistake emotion photographer
Sometimes photographers mistake emotion for what makes a great street photograph.
photography looks way
A photograph can look any way.
photography desire burning
I have a burning desire to see what things look like photographed by me.
