Elliott Erwitt
To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.
Aaron Siskind
Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever... it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything
Ernst Haas
The camera doesn't make a bit of difference. All of them can record what you are seeing. But, you have to SEE.
Jean-Luc Godard
Photography is truth. And cinema is truth twenty-four times a second.
Ansel Adams
There are always two people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer.
David Bailey
It takes a lot of imagination to be a good photographer. You need less imagination to be a painter, because you can invent things. But in photography everything is so ordinary; it takes a lot of looking before you learn to see the ordinary. ...
Ansel Adams

Edward Steichen
Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face, the beauty of the earth and skies that man has inherited and the wealth and confusion man has created.

Photography, as a powerful medium of expression and communications, offers an infinite variety of perception, interpretation and execution.
Edward Weston
Photography to the amateur is recreation, to the professional it is work, and hard work too, no matter how pleasurable it my be.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
A photograph is neither taken nor seized by force. It offers itself up. It is the photo that takes you. One must not take photos.
Ernst Haas
Best wide-angle lens? Two steps backward. Look for the 'ah-ha'.

A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you the less you know.
