photography ideas people
People buy ideas, they don't buy photographs.
people taught helpful
Lennon was very helpful. What he taught me seems completely obvious: he expected people to treat each other well.
people sense-of-humor
When you involve people, they come out, you see them, you get to see their sense of humor.
emotional people landscape
What I am interested in now is the landscape. Pictures without people. I wouldn't be surprised if eventually there are no people in my pictures. It is so emotional.
ideas people trying
I don't try to overintellectua lize my concepts of people. In fact, the ideas I have, if you talk about them, they seem extremely corny and it's only in their execution that people can enjoy them...It's something I've learned to trust: The stupider it is, the better it looks.
hard-work successful people
Most people, especially successful people, are hard-working. They want to participate. They want to do things well.
views talking people
Everyone has a point of view. Some people call it style, but what we're really talking about is the guts of a photograph. When you trust your point of view, that's when you start taking pictures.
good liked people word
I've never liked the word 'celebrity.' I like to photograph people who are good at what they do.
dressed empowered
It's interesting to me because she is empowered when she's dressed up,
hands photograph boxes
I love having the photograph in my hand. I love looking at the photograph. I love looking at a box of photographs. I just love the still photograph.
funny
No one ever thought Clint Eastwood was funny, but he was.
photography pieces littles
A photograph is just a little, teeny-weeny, small piece of life. I feel like I see so much more than what I can actually get.
artist shooting helping
What I end up shooting is the situation. I shoot the composition and my subject is going to help the composition or not.
artist stones rolling
When I started working for Rolling Stone, I became very interested in journalism and thought maybe that's what I was doing, but it wasn't.
