Beware of too much taste as it leads to sterility.
Ernst Haas
Image
I have always felt better taking a risk than an easier route for what I believe in.
Ernst Haas
Image
With photography a new language has been created. Now for the first time it is possible to express reality by reality. We can look at an impression as long as we wish, we can delve into it and, so to speak, renew past experiences at will.
Ernst Haas
Image
Is photography art?... The pure definition of the word 'art' alone is too vague today to break one's brain and soul about it. Let us take a little vacation from this word.
Ernst Haas
Image
You see what you think, you see what you feel, you are what you see If with the camera you can make others see it - that is photography.
Ernst Haas
Image
Beware of color theories. Theories in color photography are dangerous. The plain fact that there are so many of them proves my point.
