all of my images are straight out of camera, no photoshop, except for tiny level adjustments

"The single most important component of a camera is the twelve inches behind it."

Ansel Adams

"Cameras don't take pictures, photographers do. Cameras are just another artist's tool. The camera's only job is to get out of the way of making photographs."

"No photographer is as good as the simplest camera."

Edward Steichen

"Leica, schmeica. The camera doesn't make a bit of difference. All of them can record what you are seeing. But, you have to SEE."

Ernst Haas

"To take photographs means to recognize -- simultaneously and within a fraction of a second -- both the fact itself and the rigorous organization of visually perceived forms that give it meaning. It is putting one's head, one's eye and one's heart on the same axis."

Henri Cartier-Bresson

"Don’t think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it’s good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art."

Andy Warhol
