Computer photography won't be photography as we know it. I think photography will always be chemical.

As a young person, and I know it’s hard to believe that I was shy, but you could take your camera, and it would take you to places: it was like having a friend, like having someone to go out with and look at the world. I would do things with a camera I wouldn’t do normally if I was just by myself.

When you are younger, the camera is like a friend and you can go places and feel like you're with someone, like you have a companion.

Annie Leibovitz
Image
I am impressed with what happens when someone stays in the same place and you took the same picture over and over and it would be different, every single frame.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
As you get older, you have different tools, and you learn to use photography differently.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
There are still so many places on our planet that remain unexplored. I'd love to one day peel back the mystery and understand them.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
I don't try to overintellectua lize my concepts of people. In fact, the ideas I have, if you talk about them, they seem extremely corny and it's only in their execution that people can enjoy them...It's something I've learned to trust: The stupider it is, the better it looks.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
The subjects felt more comfortable if they played the role than if they had to be themselves.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
There must be a reason why photographers are not very good at verbal communication. I think we get lazy.

No one ever thought Clint Eastwood was funny, but he was.

When you are on assignment, film is the least expensive thing in a very practical sense. Your time, the person's time, turns out to be the most valuable thing.
