More quotes by Ralph Steiner
These days I think the composers of music influence me more than any photographers or visual creators. I see something exciting or lovely and think to myself: 'If Papa Haydn or Wolfgang Amadeus or the red-headed Vivaldi were here with a camera, they'd snap a picture of what's in front of me.' So I take the picture for them.
Ralph Steiner
Eventually I discovered for myself the utterly simple prescription for creativity be intensely yourself. Don't try to be outstanding don't try to be a successdon't try to do pictures for others to look at- just please yourself.
Ralph Steiner
