More quotes by Rondal Partridge
Ansel [Adams] always jumped over the fence to photograph, walked past the garbage. He always looked to get an immaculate view, and I spent my life stepping back to include the garbage in my photographic view.
Rondal Partridge
You know, you have to be an optimist, a pessimist, sarcastic and pleasant all at the same time to be a photographer.
Rondal Partridge
So many people are diverted to doing what people want photographed - fashion models, buildings, mountains - they get to thinking those photographs are good.
Rondal Partridge
I never think of myself as an artist. I think of myself as making a point.
Rondal Partridge
I have an abiding faith in the fact that time will change the value of photographs. What you see today may be so familiar to everyone that they don't immediately appreciate or value it.
