“I don't think it's necessary to put your feelings about photography in words. I've read things that photographers have written for exhibitions and so forth about their subjective feelings about photography and mostly I think it's disturbing. I think they're fooling themselves very often. They're just talking, they're not saying anything.” ThinkingFeelingsTalkingWrittenPhotographyPhotographerSubjectiveDisturbingExhibitions Author:Eliot Porter
“Much is missed if we have eyes only for the bright colors. Nature should be viewed without distinction... She makes no choice herself; everything that happens has equal significance. Nothing can be dispensed with. This is a common mistake that many people make: They think that half of nature can be destroyed - the uncomfortable half - while still retaining the acceptable and the pleasing side.” PeopleIfsThinkingShouldStillsHappensEyeChoicesSidesCommonMistakeHalfColorEqualPhotographyDestroyedUncomfortableDistinctionSignificanceAcceptableRetainingBright Colors Author:Eliot Porter
