Jerry Uelsmann quotes about
photography eye artist
The contemporary artist...is not bound to a fully conceived, previsioned end. His mind is kept alert to in-process discovery and a working rapport is established between the artist and his creation. While it may be true, as Nathan Lyons stated, 'The eye and the camera see more than the mind knows,' is it not also conceivable that the mind knows more than the eye and the camera can see?
photography creative celebration
The creative process can sustain itself throughout the entire celebration of photography.
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 creating-value numbers
Editions made sense when people worked with engravings where the plate wore down as prints were made. An early number of the edition had slightly better quality. But that's not the case with photography. To me, it's a false way of creating value.
photography attitude crafts
I'm really very concerned with helping to create an attitude of freedom and daring toward the craft of photography.
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.
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 confused
I have gradually confused photography with life.
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 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 light remember
Photography is just light remembering itself.
itself quality room timeless
The room itself had a strange, timeless quality to it.
amaze becomes greatest hope possibilities
Ultimately, my hope is to amaze myself. The anticipation of discovering new possibilities becomes my greatest joy.
