“Fantasy isn't something I put into the pictures; I don't try and inject them with a sense of play. But it's about being an honest photographer; a photograph is as much of a mirror of the photographer as it is the subject.” TryingPlayFantasySubjectsHonestMirrorsPhotographerPhotograph Author:Tim Walker
“Most new things are not good, and die an early death; but those which push themselves forward and by slow degrees force themselves on the attention of mankind are the unconscious productions of human wisdom, and must have honest consideration, and must not be made the subject of unreasoning prejudice.” HumansMadeDiesForceAttentionSubjectsMankindHonestDegreesPrejudiceInnovationProductionsUnconsciousConsiderationNew ThingsHuman WisdomEarly Death Author:Bill Vaughan
“In the Middle Ages, the troubadour poets invented the concept of courtly love--a fantasy love, a noble passion, which was also extra-marital and thus inevitably thwarted, illicit, adulterous. One of the medieval terms for it was amour honestus (honest love). I've always wondered why this passionate ideal--masochistic, spiritual-travelled with such wildfire throughout Europe. My poem, a ghazal, takes up the subject.” AgeSpiritualPassionTermFantasyMiddleSubjectsHonestPoetConceptsEuropeIdealsPassionateNobleExtrasMiddle AgesMedievalAmourWildfiresMasochisticTroubadoursFantasy LoveHonest Love Author:Edward Hirsch

“If a subject has a delicate surface to it, you do not want to go charging in there. You need to establish some kind of presence and understanding. I will say, Try to forget I'm here. I won't ask you to pose, I won't ask you to do anything. It's important that I just be allowed to be around, to be present. Photographing people requires a willingness to be rejected. So, I think the best approach is to be honest and direct. Very often, I tell them, You don't know me. There's no reason why you should trust me... the only thing I can promise is that I'll try to do the most honest work I can.” PeopleIfsThinkingKnowsWantNeedsShouldTryingKindI CanImportantReasonAsksUnderstandingForgetSubjectsHonestPromiseApproachDirectSurfaceBeing HonestReason WhyNo ReasonWillingnessDelicateKnow MeRejectedTrust MeChargingHonest WorkYou Don't Know Me Author:William Albert Allard
