“With chemical film, it was possible to alter photographs, but you had to be an expert. That's not true any more. The LA Times fired a photographer at the beginning of the Iraq War for editing two shots together. Photography is crumbling. Certainly it is for the newspapers a bit now, isn't it? There will be painting again, absolutely!” TwoWarTogetherFilmBitsPaintingPhotographyShotsPhotographerPhotographIraqNewspapersExpertsChemicalsEditingIraq WarCrumbling Author:David Hockney

“My photographs are not really about photography. They are about editing. I use photography but they are all taken from the TV screen. Anybody can do that, but it's the order I put the pictures in to try to create a new kind of movie, something that you can put on your wall.” TryingKindUseOrderCan DoTakenTvsWallPhotographyPhotographScreensEditingYour Wall Book:John Waters: change of life Source: John Waters: change of life
“Photography is an individual passion of mine. I don't get paid to do it, although people offer me money. I do it because I love it, and if there's no money attached, I don't have to do anything. It's my weekend away, my vacation, whether it's an hour or five hours or editing photos on my laptop in the middle of the night. It gives me relief from all the other stuff.” PeopleIfsGivingNightPassionIndividualStuffHoursFiveMiddleMinesOffersPhotographyGive MePaidReliefWeekendVacationEditingNo MoneyMiddle Of The NightLaptops Author:Nikki Sixx
“I got really excited about finding new ways of using video, and the immediacy is different, in a way, than painting and photography. The creativity comes with the editing. You can layer and cut and paste. I really love that it's like another form of making my smaller collages but in video form.” WayDifferentFormCreativityCuttingPaintingFindingsPhotographyExcitedVideoLayersNew WaysEditingImmediacyCollages Author:Mickalene Thomas
“Photography is a system of visual editing. At bottom, it is a matter of surrounding with a frame a portion of one's cone of vision, while standing in the right place at the right time. Like chess, or writing, it is a matter of choosing from among given possibilities, but in the case of photography the number of possibilities is not finite but infinite.” WritingMatterGivenNumbersVisionCasesPossibilityPhotographyStandingInfiniteBottomChessVisualsPortionsEditingRight TimeFiniteRight PlaceCones Book:William Eggleston's Guide Source: William Eggleston's Guide
