“I like acting too much and it's too, I'm just too busy doing that and I'm too hungry for it, to get behind the camera. I mean, unless I could act in it, too. I don't think I've got the right brain.

“I seem to walk in the world as two people. The normal everyday-me is as preoccupied, unobservant and oblivious to visual clues as I ever was. Then there is the photographer-me, the one who has a camera in hand and a specific project in mind, and then the world suddenly jumps to life with potential pictures, as if a switch had been thrown in my brain and a different person is looking out of the same eyes.” PeopleIfsWorldMindPersonsTwoDifferentHandsSeemsEyeWalksBrainNormalProjectsPhotographyCamerasEverydayPhotographerVisualsThrownClueOblivious Author:Bill Jay

“It was always hard work to push through a crowed of reporters with the scent of blood in their nostrils. You might not think so, since on camera they appear to be brain-damaged wimps with severe eating disorders. But put them at a police barricade and a miraculous thing happens...The strength comes from some mysterious place-and somehow, when there is gore on the ground, these anorexic creatures can push their way through anything. Without mussing their hair, too.” ThinkingWayHardMightHappensBrainBloodHard WorkHairCreaturesEatingPoliceCamerasThings HappenMysteriousDisorderReportersScentSevereMiraculousGoreEating DisorderAnorexicsBarricadesWimps Author:Jeff Lindsay
“The camera is not only an extension of the eye but of the brain. It can see sharper, farther, nearer, slower, faster than the eye. It can see by invisible light. It can see in the past, present, and future. Instead of using the camera only to reproduce objects, I wanted to use it to make what is invisible to the eye - visible.” UseLightEyeWantedPastBrainObjectsPhotographyCamerasInvisibleFasterVisibleExtensionsPast PresentPast Present And Future Author:Wynn Bullock
“The difference between an amateur and a professional photographer is that the amateur thinks the camera does the work. And they treat the camera with a certain amount of reverence. It is all about the kind of lens you choose, the kind of film stock you use… exactly the sort of perfection of the camera. Whereas, the professional the real professional – treats the camera with unutterable disdain. They pick up the camera and sling it aside. Because they know it’s the eye and the brain that count, not the mechanism that gets between them and the subject that counts.” ThinkingKnowsKindDoeRealUseEyeFilmCertainDifferencesBrainSubjectsAmountPicksPerfectionTreatsCamerasPhotographerYou ChooseReverenceMechanismLensesDisdainProfessional Photographer Author:David Hemmings
