“Photography has always been capable of manipulation. Even more subtle and more invidious is the fact that any time you put a frame to the world, it's an interpretation. I could get my camera and point it at two people and not point it at the homeless third person to the right of the frame, or not include the murder that's going on to the left of the frame. You take 35 degrees out of 360 degrees and call it a photo. There's an infinite number of ways you can do this: photographs have always been authored.” PeopleWorldWayPersonsTwoFactsLeftCan DoNumbersDegreesPhotographyCapableThirdsMurderInfiniteCamerasPhotographSubtleManipulationInterpretationHomelessThird Person Author:Joel Sternfeld

But that's not the case with photography. To me, it's a false way of creating value.” PeopleWayMadeValuesNumbersQualityCasesCreatingPhotographyPrintPlatesCreating Value Author:Jerry Uelsmann
“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
