photography real light
I was coming to realize that the real magician was light itself...
photography art sake
Art for art's sake is dead, if it ever lived.
photography people patterns
The precision of hisskill places his work beyond the tentative and the experimental stage. He is continually searching and exploring both himself and his surroundings. and in this exploration of the realm of places, people and things, contrasts and relationships, Callahan is no respecter of conventional technical formula or code. His delicate sense of pattern is an integral part of his photography and not a thing by itself.
photography art self
To make good photographs, to express something, to contribute something to the world he lives in, and to contribute something to the art of photography besides imitations of the best photographers on the market today, that is basic training, the understanding of self.
photography spring mean
Some day there may be... machinery that needs but to be wound up and sent roaming o'er hill and dale, through fields and meadows, by babbling brooks and shady woods - in short, a machine that will discriminately select its subject and, by means of a skillful arrangement of springs and screws, compose its motif, expose the plate, develop, print, and even mount and frame the result of its excursion, so that there will be nothing for us to do but to send it to the Royal Photographic Society's exhibition and gratefully to receive the 'Royal Medal'.
photography art ideas
The use of the term art medium is, to say the least, misleading, for it is the artist that creates a work of art not the medium. It is the artist in photography that gives form to content by a distillation of ideas, thought, experience, insight and understanding.

A good daguerreotype was as perfect a kind of photograph as was ever made.
photography feelings records
Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face.
photography mistake artist
It is an error common to many artists, who strive merely to avoid mistakes, when all our efforts should be to create positive and important work. Better positive and important with mistakes and failures than perfect mediocrity.
photography cameras photographer
No photographer is as good as the simplest camera.
photography photograph thousand
A photograph is worth a thousand words, provided it is accompanied by only ten words.
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.
photography men records
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.
