Jacques-Henri Lartigue quotes about
photography photographer moments
Photography to me is catching a moment which is passing, and which is true.

I take photographs with love, so I try to make them art objects. But I make them for myself first and foremost - that is important.
two photographer
One shouldn’t be only two photographers but thousands.
making-love photographer idiotic
To talk about photos rather than making them seems idiotic to me. It's as though I went on and on about a woman I adored instead of making love to her.
photography writing interesting
Photography and writing are marvelous distractions from painting. I might even have found movies more interesting than photography. I tried it a bit, but not enough.
focus intuition asking
The golden rule is work fast. As for framing, composition, focus-this is no time to start asking yourself questions: you just have to trust your intuition and the sharpness of your reflexes.
photography magic odor
Photography is a magic thing. A thing that has mysterious odors, a little strange and frightening, something one quickly grows to love.
fun photograph marvellous
It's marvelous, marvelous! Nothing will ever be as much fun. I'm going to photograph everything, everything!
photography art pain
What’s so incredibly amusing with photography is that while seemingly an art of the surface, it catches things I haven’t even noticed. And it pains me not to have seen things in all their depth.
