photography simple way
I like the simple things. I don't know why. I'm that way. I came from a simple place.
photography technique mystery
The mystery isn't in the technique, it's in each of us.
photography forever goes-on
I can tell you for me it goes on forever. There are some things you can't ever find out. You can't find out in one life either.
photography mysterious i-can
I can't say what makes a picture. I can't say. It's mysterious.
photography prayer
A picture is like a prayer.
photography believe people
I do believe strongly in photography and hope by following it intuitively that when the photographs are looked at they will touch the spirit in people.
photography prayer offering
A picture is like a prayer; you're offering a prayer to get something, and in a sense it's like a gift of God because you have practically no control-at least I don't.
photography strong believe
I photograph continuously, often without a good idea or strong feelings. During this time the photos are nearly all poor, but I believe they develop my seeing and help later on in other photos. I do believe strongly in photography and hope by following it intuitively that when the photographs are looked at they will touch the spirit in people.
photography thinking alive
I think I came alive when I started photography.
photography art real
You only do exercises in art school. That's not the real thing. A little bit tells you so much. You have to find your own self. And you don't know what you are! But that's what you have to search for.
photography talking done
Every time I talked about making a picture I didn't do it. I had already done it - talking about it! I quit talking.
photography art real
In terms of art, the only real answer that I know of is to do it. If you don't do it, you don't know what might happen.
photography people matter
It's the subject matter that counts. I'm interested in revealing the subject in a new way to intensify it. A photo is able to capture a moment that people can't always see.
photography thinking expression
I realize that we all do express ourselves, but those who express that which is always being done are those whose thinking is almost in every way in accord with everyone else. Expression on this basis has become dull to those who wish to think for themselves.
