The world just does not fit conveniently into the format of a 35mm camera.
W. Eugene Smith
Image
Ultimately — or at the limit — in order to see a photograph well, it is best to look away or close your eyes. 'The necessary condition for an image is sight,'Janouch told Kafka and Kafka smiled and replied: 'We photograph things in order to drive them out of our minds. My stories are a way of shutting my eyes.
Roland Barthes
Image
History is but the record of the public and official acts of human beings. It is our object, therefore, to humanize our history and deal with people past and present people who ate and possibly drank people who were born, flourished and died not grave tragedians, posing perpetually for their photographs.
Bill Nye
Image
There are moments that you suffer a lot, moments you won't photograph. There are some people you like better than others. But you give, you receive, you cherish, you are there. When you are really there, you know when you see the picture later what you are seeing.
Sebastiao Salgado
Image
I paint what cannot be photographed, something from the imagination... I photograph the things I don't want to paint, things that are already in existence.
Man Ray
Image
The class that I teach is called The Life of a Photograph. It takes up the question, of the billion photographs that were taken today, how many will have a life, and why? So the new reality has made the question more pertinent, not less pertinent.
Sam Abell
Image
Like a ventriloquist who laughs at his dummy's jokes, I keep trying to make photographs that seduce me into believing in the image - all the time knowing better, but believing anyway.
Larry Sultan
Image
Whenever I am tired of making photographs of drawings, I make drawings of photographs.
Vik Muniz

Take a random selection of photographs of America in 2012 and 2002 and 1992 and, except for the skinny jeans and the porkpie hats, you'll be hard-pressed to tell the years in which the pictures were taken.
Graydon Carter
Image
There are no bad pictures that's just how your face looks sometimes.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Character, like a photograph, develops in darkness.
Yousuf Karsh
Image
It is best to meet in a cul-de-sac, A palace of velvet With windows of mirrors. There one is safe, There are no family photographs, No rings through the nose, no cries.
Sylvia Plath
Image
People believe that photographs are true and therefore cannot be art.
Mason Cooley
Image
I look to the right as I cross the bridge and smile to see the tip of the Eiffel Tower soaring over rooftops in the distance on the other side of the river. I've seen it in photographs a thousand times, but seeing it in person for the first time that reminds me that I'm really, truly here, thousands of miles away, across an ocean from home.
Kristin Harmel
Image
I do not photograph nature. I photograph my visions.
Man Ray
Image
The photograph gives constant reference to the rectangle. This forces any idea into the confines of pictorial illusionism.
Dennis Oppenheim
Image
For me, the subject of the picture is always more important than the picture.
Diane Arbus
Image
In a painting no one complains that the subject is posed, but everybody complains about what looks posed in a photograph. Except, I've found that if I go very close in to the face, then the posed expression no longer exists. The face becomes a landscape of the lakes of the eyes and the hills of the nose and the valley of the cleft of the chin.
John Loengard
Image
My photographs are not pure: they are a seething wealth of imperfection.
Frederick Sommer
Image
Photographs are still being taken but aren't being shown. There's one of a skeleton bound at the wrists with pants still around its ankles if it was a woman, she was likely raped if it was a man, he was possibly castrated.
Nicholas D. Kristof
Image
It takes me a long time to change. I don't think you can just go out and figure out a bunch of visual ideas and photograph. The change happens in living and not through thinking.
Harry Callahan
Image
America is the most inventive country in the world. Why? Because everybody has access to information. In the Soviet Union it was illegal to take a photograph of a train station. Look what happened to them.
Tom Clancy
Image
We must remember that a photograph can hold just as much as we put into it, and no one has ever approached the full possibilities of the medium.
Ansel Adams
Image
I think of my photographs as being obviously symbolic, but not symbolically obvious.
