“If you are engaging rationality, you are already engaging a place that makes you unavailable. Only when I recognize that inspiration has announced itself to my availability will I then say I need to use my mind to calculate exposure, my emotions to position myself and arrange a configuration of shapes that need to come into being, my body to put it all in place because we have been given a message and it has come through inspiration through being available.'” IfsNeedsMindHas BeensUseBodyInspirationGivenEmotionPositionShapesMessagesPhotographerAvailableRationalityEngagingExposureAvailabilityConfiguration Author:Paul Caponigro

“Photographers do themselves a disservice by talking too much about the equipment they use. Consequently people don't take them seriously as creators in their own right. When people talk to writers about their work, they ask about their ideas and inspirations. When they talk to photographers, they ask about what cameras or film they use. That's wrong - as wrong as asking a writer what pencil and laptop he uses.” PeopleIdeasUseInspirationFilmAsksTalkingToo MuchAskingCamerasPhotographerCreatorEquipmentPencilsLaptopsDisserviceTalking Too MuchIdeas And Inspiration Author:Peter Turnley
“I think what inspires me is in a constant state of flux...it's easier to stick to photographers and perhaps cinematographers, though the great medieval, Mannerist, and Baroque painters of Italian, Spanish, Flemish, and German origin are a constant source of inspiration, along with select modernists like Dali.” ThinkingStatesInspirationInspireSourceEasierConstantSticksPhotographerPainterItalianSelectMedievalFluxBaroqueSource Of InspirationCinematographers Author:Anton Yelchin
“I thought about how to film something, how to take pictures of it and how to mix it all together. And I was getting that through Patti [Smith] - because she takes pictures, performs, writes; she does so many things, and that was a big inspiration to me. It helped me realized that I'm not just a fashion photographer. I wanted to do all these other artistic things as well, and during filming my mind opened up to those possibilities.” WritingMindWellsDoeBigsInspirationWantedTogetherFilmFashionPossibilityPhotographerArtistic Author:Steven Sebring
