photography adventure men
Photography is an adventure just as life is an adventure. If man wishes to express himself photographically, he must understand, surely to a certain extent, his relationship to life.
photography book simple
To be a photographer, one must photograph. No amount of book learning, no checklist of seminars attended, can substitute for the simple act of making pictures.
teacher artist journey
Experience is the best teacher of all. And for that, there are no guarantees that one will become an artist. Only the journey matters.
thinking ideas long
It takes me a long time to change. I don't think you can just go out and figure out a bunch of visual ideas and photograph. The change happens in living and not through thinking.
writing cameras subjects
If you choose your subject selectively - intuitively - the camera can write poetry.
photography shots
I guess I've shot about 40,000 negatives and of these I have about 800 pictures I like.
photography adventure people
I wish more people felt that photography was an adventure the same as life itself and felt that their individual feelings were worth expressing. To me, that makes photography more exciting.
