Why is form beautiful? Because, I think, it helps us meet our worst fear, the suspicion that life may be chaos and that therefore our suffering is without meaning.
~ Robert Adams
Nothing is less real than realism... Details are confusing. It is only by selection, by elimination, by emphasis, that we get at the real meaning of things.
~ Georgia O'Keeffe
The whole point of taking pictures is so that you don't have to explain things in words.
~ Elliott Erwitt
A photograph is a question, not an answer.
~ Gary Winogrand
A photographer is like a cod, which produces a million eggs in order that one may reach maturity.”
~ George Bernard Shaw
All photographs are memento mori. To take a photograph is to participate in another person’s (or thing’s) mortality, vulnerability, mutability. Precisely by slicing out this moment and freezing it, all photographs testify to time’s relentless melt.
~ Susan Sontag
