Text Quotes
Imagine a world without photography, one could only imagine  (Berenice Abbott Quotes) Self-conscious artiness is fatal, but it certainly would not hurt to study composition in general. Having a basic understanding of composition would help construct a better organized image  (Berenice Abbott Quotes) Actually, documentary pictures include every subject in the world - good, bad, indifferent. I have yet to see a fine photograph which is not a good document  (Berenice Abbott Quotes) Let us first say what photography is not. A photograph is not a painting, a poem, a symphony, a dance. It is not just a pretty picture, not an exercise in contortionist techniques and sheer print quality. It is or should be a significant document, a penetrating statement, which can be described in a very simple term-selectivity  (Berenice Abbott Quotes) Some people are still unaware that reality contains unparalleled beauties. The fantastic and unexpected, the ever-changing and renewing is nowhere so exemplified as in real life itself  (Berenice Abbott Quotes) Does not the very word ‘creative’ mean to build, to initiate, to give out, to act - rather than to be acted upon, to be subjective? Living photography is positive in its approach, it sings a song of life - not death  (Berenice Abbott Quotes) What the human eye observes causally and incuriously, the eye of the camera notes with relentless fidelity  (Berenice Abbott Quotes) I haven’t seen too many images that have impressed me!  (Berenice Abbott Quotes) Photography can only represent the present. Once photographed, the subject becomes part of the past  (Berenice Abbott Quotes) Photography helps people to see  (Berenice Abbott Quotes) The camera is no more an instrument of preservation, the image is  (Berenice Abbott Quotes) I’m not a nice girl. I’m a photographer  (Berenice Abbott Quotes) I wanted to combine science and photography in a sensible, unemotional way. Some people’s ideas of scientific photography is just arty design, something pretty. That was not the idea. The idea was to interpret science sensibly, with good proportion, good balance and good lighting, so we could understand it  (Berenice Abbott Quotes) I am so fascinated with this century it will help keep me alive. I’ll be there until the last minute, fighting  (Berenice Abbott Quotes) Photography is not only drawing with light, though light is the indispensable agent of its being. It is modeling or sculpturing with light, to reproduce the plastic form of natural objects. It is painting with light  (Berenice Abbott Quotes) Today we are confronted with reality on the vastest scale mankind has known and this puts a greater responsibility on the photographer  (Berenice Abbott Quotes) Abstraction in photography is ridiculous, and is only an imitation of painting. We stopped imitating painters a hundred years ago, so to imitate them in this day and age is laughable  (Berenice Abbott Quotes) Photography was the medium preeminently qualified to unite art with science. Photography was born in the years which ushered in the scientific age, an offspring of both science and art  (Berenice Abbott Quotes) There are many teachers who could ruin you. Before you know it you could be a pale copy of this teacher or that teacher. You have to evolve on your own  (Berenice Abbott Quotes) You scientists are the worst photographers in the world and you need the best photographers in the world and I’m the one to do it  (Berenice Abbott Quotes) The photographer is the contemporary being par excellence; through his eyes the now becomes the past  (Berenice Abbott Quotes) To chart a course, one must have a direction. In reality, the eye is no better than the philosophy behind it. The photographer creates, evolves a better, a more selective, more acute seeing eye by looking ever more sharply at what is going on in the world  (Berenice Abbott Quotes) The photograph may be presented as finely and artistically as you will; but to merit serious consideration, must be directly connected with the world we live in  (Berenice Abbott Quotes) Photography doesn’t teach you to express your emotions; it teaches you how to see  (Berenice Abbott Quotes) Pictures are wasted unless the motive power which impelled you to action is strong and stirring  (Berenice Abbott Quotes) I took to photography like a duck to water. I never wanted to do anything else. Excitement about the subject is the voltage which pushes me over the mountain of drudgery necessary to produce the final photograph  (Berenice Abbott Quotes) Photography can never grow up if it imitates some other medium. It has to walk alone; it has to be itself  (Berenice Abbott Quotes) I didn’t decide to be a photographer; I just happened to fall into it  (Berenice Abbott Quotes)
