A Couple Photo Quotes

"...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. Experience is the best teacher of all. And for that, there are no guarantees that one will become an artist. Only the journey matters.. "-Harry Callahan

"Many pictures turn out to be limp translations of the known world instead of vital objects, which create an intrinsic world of their own. There is a vast difference between taking a picture and making a photograph. "-Robert Heinecken

"If you are not willing to see more than is visible, you won't see anything."-Ruth Bernhard
