Photographs Quotes

I feed on art more than I ever do on photographs. I can admire photography, but I wouldn’t go to it out of hunger Picture Quote #1

Black-and-white photography, which I was doing in the very early days, was essentially called art photography and usually consisted of landscapes by people like Ansel Adams and Edward Weston. But photographs by people like Adams didn’t interest me Picture Quote #1

I wanted not to make photographs that would be art, but art that would be photography Picture Quote #1

My cloud photographs are equivalents of my most profound life experiences, my basic philosophy of life. All art is an equivalent of the artist’s most profound life experiences Picture Quote #1

I take pleasure in working with the non-art photographs that reside in public archives, essentially authorless and owned by the world itself, because I find the world of fine art photography to be pretty silly and pretentious Picture Quote #1

I photographed with film for many years; now that I work in digital, the difference is enormous. The quality is unbelievable: I don’t use flash, and with digital I can even work in very bad light. Also, it’s a relief not to lose photographs to x-ray machines in airports Picture Quote #1

Excellent anthology... a celebration of our goodness and our potential for growth. The sense of celebration is stretched by the beautiful photographs Picture Quote #1

My photographs are a celebration of life, fun and the beautiful. They are a world that doesn’t exist. A fantasy. Freedom is real. There are no rules. The life I wish I was living Picture Quote #1

The same camera that photographs a murder scene can photograph a beautiful society affair at a big hotel Picture Quote #1

I don’t know if all the women in the photographs are beautiful, but I do know that the women are beautiful in the photographs Picture Quote #1

We’ve spent now about 150 years trying to convince ourselves that photographs are reliable evidence, some unimpeachable slice of the real world. That was a myth from the very beginning Picture Quote #1

All my life I’ve taken photographs of people who are completely at peace being what they were in the situations I photographed them in Picture Quote #1

I have no interest in being famous. I just want to make famous photographs Picture Quote #1

I adore shooting photographs. It’s like being a hunter. But some hunters are vegetarians - which is my relationship to photography Picture Quote #1

I think of many of my photographs as being obviously symbolic but not symbolically obvious. There isn’t any specific correlation between the symbols in this image and any content that I have in mind Picture Quote #1

The public is being spoiled by good technical quality photographs in magazines, on television, in the movies, and they have become bored. The disease of our age is this boredom and a good photographer must successfully combat it. The only way to do this is by invention - by surprise Picture Quote #1

My photographs don’t go below the surface. They don’t go below anything. They’re readings of the surface. I have great faith in surfaces. A good one is full of clues Picture Quote #1

We fought in 1974 - that was a long time ago. After 1981, we became the best of friends. By 1984, we loved each other. I am not closer to anyone else in this life than I am to Muhammad Ali. Why? We were forged by that first fight in Zaire, and our lives are indelibly linked by memories and photographs, as young men and old men Picture Quote #1

I like to feel that all my best photographs had strong personal visions and that a photograph that doesn’t have a personal vision or doesn’t communicate emotion fails Picture Quote #1

My mountaineering skills are not important to my best photographs, but they do add a component to my work that is definitely a bit different than that of most photographers Picture Quote #1

Authenticity is too big a subject to just toss in with the question about the photographs! Picture Quote #1

I left Facebook after Facebook groups began appearing about me and suddenly your personal photographs start becoming public property Picture Quote #1

When I climb into my car, I enter my destination into a GPS device, whose spatial memory supplants my own. I have photographs to store the images I want to remember, books to store knowledge and now, thanks to Google, I rarely have to remember anything more than the right set of search terms to access humankind’s collective memory Picture Quote #1

Few Americans have ever met their Congresspeople. They don’t see them at the grocery store; they don’t meet them at the bowling alley. They’re more likely to see their representatives in photographs from the Daily Grill in Washington, D.C., than at a local town hall Picture Quote #1

As a very small boy, my passion was nature, and I had pets - cats, a dog and a bunny rabbit - and I wrote a very small book called ‘My Pets,’ filled with their photographs and a discussion about my pets and how much I loved them... That was my first book Picture Quote #1

Yes, there are billions more photographers, and billions more photographs every day, but who’s building up a point of view? Who’s photographing with intention, and whose body of work will sustain itself and survive? Picture Quote #1
