Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again.  ~Henri Cartier-Bresson

I began to realize that film sees the world differently than the human eye, and that sometimes those differences can make a photograph more powerful than what you actually observed.  ~Galen Rowell

Well, I don't think there's any such thing as teaching people photography, other than influencing them a little. Or maybe inspire them, or perk them up. People have to be their own learners. They have to have a certain talent, and kind of an eye. ~Imogene Cunningham

The challenge for me was to photograph what I felt, not just what I saw. ~Katrin Eismann

I wish more people felt that photography was an adventure the same as life itself and felt that their individual feelings were worth expressing. To me, that makes photography more exciting.  ~Harry Callahan

The camera is not a creative being but the human who wields it is.  We see.  In fact, everyone sees, hence photography's universality.  The role of the artist, however, is to see what others do not see - or cannot see - and to make the invisible visible. ~Brooks Jensen
