photography instinct
You have to follow your instinct all the time. Otherwise you don't make it.
photography photograph intellect
I expect photographs to find me. I never thought of looking for them. I instinctively put them there. My intellect had nothing to do with it.
photography real eye
What the human eye sees is an illusion of what is real. The black and white image transforms illusions into another reality.
photography inspiration light
Light is my inspiration. My photographic images search for dimensions that words cannot touch- the result of intense responses to personal experiences. I do not wish to "record," but rather to touch upon the illusive meanings which I perceive and try to comprehend in this limitless universe.
photography light giving
My quest, through the magic of light and shadow, is to isolate, to simplify and to give emphasis to form with the greatest clarity. To indicate the ideal proportion, to reveal sculptural mass and the dominating spirit is my goal.
photography weapons cameras
Never ever say the word shoot when you are taking a picture with a camera because a camera is not a violent weapon.
photography art artist
Photography is art when it's used by an artist.
universe unimportant
There is nothing unimportant in the universe.
photography trying body
Every day I am aware of the flow and constant change; perhaps I am at the edge of discovering what more our bodies might be able to teach about the spirit of life. At least, I am always exploring and trying to understand our relationship to the whole universe.
photography ideas cry
If you are not passionately devoted to an idea, you can make very pleasant pictures but they won't make you cry.
photography helping photograph
I never question what to do, it tells me what to do. The photographs make themselves with my help.
photography falling-in-love love-you
Fall in love. Every day. With everything. With life. If you can fall in love, you can be a photographer. I think that is absolutely essential.
photography not-interested ifs
If youre not interested in life, then photography has no meaning
photography people trying
A person cannot learn to be a photographer. He can only cultivate what he already has. I try to make people aware that they have something very precious to cultivate.
