Dorothea Lange quotes about
photographer exhausted possibility
Photographers stop photographing a subject too soon before they have exhausted the possibilities.

This benefit of seeing...can come only if you pause a while, extricate yourself from the maddening mob of quick impressions ceaselessly battering our lives, and look thoughtfully at a quiet image...the viewer must be willing to pause, to look again, to meditate.
photography cat people
Photography is a lot like telling a large predatory cat what to do-while an audience of people you can't see watches you.

I realize more and more what it takes to be a really good photographer. You go in over your head, not just up to your neck.

The visual life is an enormous undertaking, practically unattainable.

Pick a theme and work it to exhaustion... the subject must be something you truly love or truly hate.

We know by now how to photograph poor people. What we don't know is how to photograph affluence - whose other face is poverty.

Seeing is more than a physiological phenomenon... We see not only with our eyes but with all that we are and all that our culture is. The artist is a professional see-er.
photography use unattainable
One should really use the camera as though tomorrow you'd be stricken blind. To live a visual life is an enormous undertaking, practically unattainable. I have only touched it, just touched it.

The best way to go into an unknown territory is to go in ignorant, ignorant as possible, with your mind wide open, as wide open as possible and not having to meet anyone else's requirement but your own.

The good photograph is not the object, the consequences of the photograph are the objects.
photography mean photographer
To know ahead of time what you're looking for means you're then only photographing your own preconceptions, which is very limiting, and often false.
photography use unattainable
One should really use the camera as though tomorrow you'd be stricken blind.
waiting moments stills
You know there are moments such as these when time stands still and all you do is hold your breath and hope it will wait for you.
