“I think photographs should be provocative and not tell you what you already know. It takes no great powers or magic to reproduce somebody's face in a photograph. The magic is in seeing people in new ways.” Duane Michals
I agree with this Duane Micals quote. Anybody can take a picture but not everybody can create a photograph. Seeing people beyond the physical aspect is what make photographs come to life.
“Landscape photography is the supreme test of the photographer—and often the supreme disappointment.” ~Ansel Adams
I agree with this Ansel Adams quote. Landscapes are flat in photographs, so making them interesting with dimension can be challenging and disappointing at the same time.
“Photography can only represent the present. Once photographed, the subject becomes part of the past.” Berenice Abbott
I agree with this Berenice Abbott quote. A photograph is a snapshot of the present. It will never be exactly the same. There will always be something different about every photograph. Memories represent the past which are photographs of the present.
