“When you see what you express through photography, you realize all the things that can no longer be the objectives of painting. Why should an artist persist in treating subjects that can be established so clearly with the lens of a camera?” ShouldArtistRealizingSubjectsPaintingPhotographyCamerasObjectivesPersistLenses Author:Pablo Picasso
“We all experience it. Those moments when we gasp and say, Oh, look at that. Maybe it's nothing more than the way a shadow glides across a face, but in that split second, when you realize something truly remarkable is happening and disappearing right in front of you, if you can pass a camera before your eye, you'll tear a piece of time out of the whole, and in a breath, rescue it and give it new meaning.” IfsWayGivingLooksWholeMomentsEyeFacesRealizingPiecesFrontsTearsHappeningsShadowBreathsCamerasPhotographerDisappearRemarkableSplitsRescue Author:Joel Meyerowitz
“You realize after you travel enough that there's some things that, no matter how good you are at making television, no matter how good your cameras are, how well it's edited, there's no way the lenses could have captured the moment, and there's no way you will ever be able to write about it and do it justice.” WayWritingWellsMatterEnoughMomentsAbleRealizingJusticeTelevisionCamerasLensesCapturedEdited Author:Anthony Bourdain

“The fact is that the camera is literal if anything, which gives it something in common with a thermometer... Often the tension that exists between the pictorial content of a photograph and its record of reality is the picture's true beauty. There is sleight of hand in photography... you make the viewer think he's seeing everything while at the same time you make him realize he's not. I try to make my pictures seem reasonable and then, at the last minute, pull the rug from beneath the viewer's feet, very gently so there's a little thrill.” IfsThinkingGivingTryingLittlesFactsHandsRealitySeemsLastsRealizingCommonRecordsSeeingFeetMinutesPhotographyCamerasPhotographTensionReasonableThrillViewersLiteralTrue BeautyLast MinutePictorialThermometersSleight Of Hand Author:John Loengard

“We're so conditioned to the syntax of the camera that we don't realize that we are running on only half the visual alphabet... It's what we see every day in the magazines, on billboards and even on television. All those images are being produced basically the same way, through a lens and a camera. I'm saying there are many, many other ways to produce photographic imagery, and I would imagine that a lot of them have yet to be explored.” WayRunningRealizingHalfImagineProduceTelevisionCamerasMagazinesVisualsImagine ThatLensesImageryAlphabetBillboardsSyntax Author:Adam Fuss
“I always try to create equal power between the subject and the object, so as not to end up creating a relationship where the camera is here and the object out there. This is for me a very difficult and sensitive balance. When I produce a work, cut and frame images, I realize that spectators can identify with the images and almost forget that someone else actually made them. This would be the optimal situation. I don't know whether I succeed in doing so, but that's what I would like to have happen.” KnowsTryingMadeEndsHappensWould BeDifficultRealizingForgetSituationCuttingSubjectsObjectsProduceBalanceSucceedEqualCreatingCamerasSensitiveSpectatorsOptimalEqual Power Author:Pipilotti Rist
“... I began showing the black border of the negative as part of the image, something I'd never done before.
