\"Quotes\"<\/center><\/p>\n

This week I decided to take a departure from my usual, long winded scribblings about techniques and technology and make this just a short, fun post. At the same time, I am going to share with you some other people’s words for a change, together with a bit of photographic inspiration. Following are quotes from some of the top photographers of the 20th century:<\/p>\n

1 – Your First 10,000 Photographs Are Your Worst<\/Em> – Henri Cartier-Bresson<\/Strong><\/p>\n

2 – If Your Pictures Aren’t Good Enough, You’re Not Close Enough<\/Em> – Robert Capa<\/Strong><\/p>\n

3 – The Single Most Important Component Of A Camera Is The Twelve Inches Behind It<\/Em> – Ansel Adams<\/Strong><\/p>\n

4 – Everyone Will Take One Great Picture, I’ve Done Better Because I’ve Taken Two<\/Em> – David Bailey<\/Strong><\/p>\n

5 – One Doesn\u2019t Stop Seeing. One Doesn\u2019t Stop Framing. It Doesn\u2019t Turn Off And On. It\u2019s On All The Time<\/Em> – Annie Leibovitz<\/Strong><\/p>\n

6 – If You Can Smell The Street By Looking At The Photo, It’s A Street Photograph<\/Em> – Bruce Gilden<\/Strong><\/p>\n

7 – A Photograph Is A Secret About A Secret. The More It Tells You The Less You Know<\/Em> – Diane Arbus<\/Strong><\/p>\n

8 – Great Photography Is About Depth Of Feeling, Not Depth Of Field<\/Em> – Peter Adams<\/Strong><\/p>\n

9 – Which Of My Photographs Is My Favorite? The One I’m Going To Take Tomorrow<\/Em> – Imogen Cunningham<\/Strong><\/p>\n

10 – Photography can only represent the present. Once photographed, the subject becomes part of the past<\/Em> – Berenice Abbott<\/Strong><\/p>\n

11 – Photography For Me Is Not Looking, It\u2019s Feeling. If You Can\u2019t Feel What You\u2019re Looking At, Then You\u2019re Never Going To Get Others To Feel Anything When They Look At Your Pictures<\/Em> – Don Mccullin<\/Strong><\/p>\n

12 – Amateurs Worry About Equipment, Professionals Worry About Money, Technical Shooters Worry About Pixels, Journos Worry About Frame Rates, Masters Worry About Light, I Just Make Pictures<\/Em> – Marc Schultz<\/Strong><\/p>\n

O.K., so I didn’t quite pen #12 all by myself, I had a bit of help. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Next week I’ll get back to core business again here on the blog where I’ll be discussing black and white digital photography. See you again soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
