Photography Quotes

Photograph: a picture painted by the sun
without instruction in art.
~Ambrose Bierce


You don't take a photograph.
You ask, quietly, to borrow it.
~Author Unknown


Sometimes I do get to places
just when God's ready
to have somebody
click the shutter.
~Ansel Adams


No place is boring,
if you've had a good night's sleep
and have a pocket
full of unexposed film.
~Robert Adams,
Darkroom & Creative Camera Techniques, May 1995


It's weird that
photographers spend years
or even a whole lifetime,
trying to capture moments
that added together,
don't even amount
to a couple of hours.
~James Lalropui Keivom


When you photograph people in colour
you photograph their clothes.
But when you photograph people in B&W,
you photograph their souls!
~Ted Grant


While there is perhaps
a province in which
the photograph can tell us
nothing more than what we see
with our own eyes,
there is another in
which it proves to us
how little our eyes
permit us to see.
~Dorothea Lange
