gun
I was a hired gun, more or less.
important moments
No one moment is most important. Any moment can be something.
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.
beautiful photograph ifs
I don't know if all the women in the photographs are beautiful, but I do know that the women are beautiful in the photographs.
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 looks world
I photograph to see what the world looks like in photographs.
looks photograph street-photography
I photograph to find out what something will look like photographed,
