photography photograph thousand
A photograph is worth a thousand words, provided it is accompanied by only ten words.
groups exhibitions finishing
If it were possible for any one person or group of persons to go through a photographic finishing plant's work at the end of a day, you could probably pull out the most extraordinary photographic exhibition we've ever seen. On almost any subject. The trouble is to find the things.
photography men earth
The mission of photography is to explain man to man and each to himself. And that is the most complicated thing on earth.
done architecture consideration
When that shutter clicks, anything else that can be done afterward is not worth consideration.
vision feels
Once you really commence to see things, then you really commence to feel things.
nature real light
I knew, of course, that trees and plants had roots, stems, bark, branches and foliage that reached up toward the light. But I was coming to realize that the real magician was light itself.

Photography is a major force in explaining man to man.
photography art pieces
Every other artist begins with a blank canvas, a piece of paper the photographer begins with the finished product.
photography men sky
Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face, the beauty of the earth and skies that man has inherited, and the wealth and confusion man has created. It is a major force in explaining man to man.
photography simple artist
Photography is a medium of formidable contradictions. It is both ridiculously easy and almost impossibly difficult. It is easy because its technical rudiments can readily be mastered by anyonwith a few simple instructions. It is difficult because, while while the artist working in any other medium begins with a blank surface and gradually brings his conception into being, the photographer is the only imagemaker who begins with the picture completed. His emotions, his knowledge, and his native talent are brought into focus and fixed beyond recall the moment the shutter of his camera has closed.
inspirational photography portraits
A portrait is not made in the camera but on either side of it.
photography art men
When I first became interested in photography, I thought it was the whole cheese. My idea was to have it recognized as one of the fine arts. Today I don't give a hoot in hell about that. The mission of photography is to explain man to man and each man to himself.
girl mother baby
The boy and girl going hand in hand through a meadow; the mother washing her baby; the sweet simple things in life. We have almost lost track of them. On the one side, we over-intellectualize everything; on the other hand, we are over-mechanized. We can understand the danger of the atomic bomb, but the danger of our misunderstanding the meaning of life is much more serious.
world today natural
Women-the greatest natural resource in the world today.
