Thanks for stopping by my corner of Flickr. Here's some inspirational photography quotes:

"Photography is a marvelous discovery, a science that has attracted the greatest intellects, and art that excites the most astute minds—and one that can be practiced by any imbecile."

- Felix Nadar

"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 photograph to find out what something will look like photographed.”

- Garry Winogrand

"The camera is my tool. Through it I give reason to everything around me."

- André Kertész

"Because black and white gives you the message immediately. Colour’s a warning thing. Berries are red so that the birds know to eat them. When they’re green they don’t eat them. When you look at a colour picture you see the colour before you look at the message"

- David Bailey

"Most things in life are moments of pleasure and a lifetime of embarrassment; photography is a moment of embarrassment and a lifetime of pleasure."

- Tony Benn

"There is nothing worse than a brilliant image of a fuzzy concept"

- Ansel Adams

"... we photographers are nothing but a pack of crooks, thieves and voyeurs. We are to be found everywhere we are not wanted; we betray secrets that were never entrusted to us; we spy shamelessly on things that are not our business; And end up the hoarders of a vast quantity of stolen goods"

- Brassaï (Gyula Halász)

"A photograph is no longer predominantly a way of keeping a treasured family memory or even of learning about places or people that we would otherwise not encounter. It is now mainly a chintzy currency in a social interaction and a way of gazing even further into one’s navel."

- James Estrin

"There is only you and your camera. The limitations in your photography are in yourself, for what we see is what we are."

- Ernst Haas (from here)
