Photographs are believed more than words thus they can be used persuasively to show people who have never taken the trouble to look what is there.

More quotes by Eliot Porter
The more you photograph, the more you realize what can and what can't be photographed. You just have to keep doing it.
Eliot Porter
Photography is a strong tool, a propaganda device, and a weapon for the defense of the environment...and therefore for the fostering of a healthy human race and even very likely for its survival.
Eliot Porter
I do not photograph for ulterior purposes. I photograph for the thing itself - for the photograph - without consideration of how it may be used.
Eliot Porter
You learn to see by practice. It's Just like playing tennis, you get better the more you play. The more you look around at things, the more you see. The more you photograph, the more you realize what can be photographed and what can't be photographed. You just have to keep doing it.
