Jerry Uelsmann quotes about
amaze becomes greatest hope possibilities
Ultimately, my hope is to amaze myself. The anticipation of discovering new possibilities becomes my greatest joy.
photography light remember
Photography is just light remembering itself.
photography believe computer
It's equally hard and labor intensive to create an image on the computer as it is in a darkroom. Believe me.
photography people creative
My creative process begins when I get out with the camera and interact with the world. A camera is truly a license to explore. There are no uninteresting things. There are just uninterested people.
photography confused
I have gradually confused photography with life.
photography moving thinking
Well, I do think, particularly the way I work, the better images occur when you're moving to the fringes of your own understanding. That's where self-doubt and risk taking are likely to occur. It's when you trust what's happening at a non-intellectual non-conscious level that you can produce work that later resonates, often in a way that you can't articulate a response to.
photography real thinking
And young people who are learning digital skills discover that the real challenge is coming up with an image that resonates, first of all, with your self and hopefully, with an audience. They can learn all these new techniques and think that they're easier to use, but creating great images isn't about the tools.
meaningful art attitude
One of the major changes in attitude that occurred in the world of art as we moved from the nineteenth into the twentieth century was that the twentieth century artist became more involved with personal expression than with celebrating exclusively the values of the society or the church. Along with this change came a broader acceptance of the belief that the artist can invent a reality that is more meaningful than the one that is literally given to the eye. I subscribe enthusiastically to this.
photography confused believe
I have gradually confused photography and life and as a result of this I believe I am able to work out of myself at an almost precognitive level.
photography creative celebration
The creative process can sustain itself throughout the entire celebration of photography.
finals photographer process
Let us not be afraid to allow for post-visualization. By post-visualization I refer to the willingness on the part of the photographer to revisualize the final image at any point in the entire photographic process.
