photography crazy mean
If I were just curious, it would be very hard to say to someone, I want to come to your house and have you talk to me and tell me the story of your life. I mean people are going to say, You're crazy. Plus they're going to keep mighty guarded. But the camera is a kind of license. A lot of people, they want to be paid that much attention and that's a reasonable kind of attention to be paid.
photography dog lying
One thing I would never photograph is a dog lying in the mud.
photography moving mean
What moves me about...what's called technique...is that it comes from some mysterious deep place. I mean it can have something to do with the paper and the developer and all that stuff, but it comes mostly from some very deep choices somebody has made that take a long time and keep haunting them.
photography tragedy skins
What I'm trying to describe is that it's impossible to get out of your skin into somebody else's.... That somebody else's tragedy is not the same as your own.

There are an awful lot of people in the world and it's going to be terribly hard to photograph all of them... It was my teacher Lisette Model who finally made it clear to me that the more specific you are, the more general it will be.
beautiful photography tears
It would be beautiful to photograph the winners of everything from Nobel to booby prize, clutching trophy, or money or certificate, solemn or smiling or tear stained or bloody, on the precarious pinnacle of the human landscape.
photography character lovely
These are characters in a fairy tale for grown-ups. Wouldn't it be lovely? Yes.
photography crazy thinking
We stand on a precipice, then before a chasm, and as we wait it becomes higher, wider, deeper, but I am crazy enough to think it doesn't matter which way we leap because when we leap we will have learned to fly. Is that blasphemy or faith?
photography risk appearing
One of the risks of appearing in public is the likelihood of being photographed.
photography facts fiction
It's always seemed to me that photography tends to deal with facts whereas film tends to deal with fiction.
photography photographer
The more specific you are, the more general it'll be.
photography yoga knowledge
The thing that's important to know is that you never know. You're always sort of feeling your way.
