Overview
“A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed.”
― Ansel Adams
Landscapes
Life on earth is such a good story you cannot afford to miss the beginning... Beneath our superficial differences we are all of us walking communities of bacteria. The world shimmers, a pointillist landscape made of tiny living beings.
-Lynn Margulis
Nature
The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be.
-Anne Frank
Abstract
There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterward you can remove all traces of reality.
-Pablo Picasso
Reflections
There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.
-Edith Wharton
Portrait
A photographic portrait is a picture of someone who knows he is being photographed, and what he does with this knowledge is as much a part of the photograph as what he's wearing or how he looks. -Richard Avedon
Miscellaneous
The biggest cliche in photography is sunrise and sunset.
-Catherine Opie
