photograph
I have to photograph where I am.
photography thinking moved
[Photography is ] likewise even French impressionists. So the Sculls bought pop. It was politics, and they moved with it. And I think that could be happening, to some degree, with photography, too. It doesn't cost as much to do it, either.
world tickets cameras
Sometimes I feel like . . . the world is a place I bought a ticket to. It’s a big show for me, as if it wouldn’t happen if I wasn’t there with a camera.
photography four facts
Photography is about finding out what can happen in the frame. When you put four edges around some facts, you change those facts.
photography looks
Photography is not about the thing photographed. It is about how that thing looks photographed.
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.
looks photograph street-photography
I photograph to find out what something will look like photographed,
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.
