photo image quotes.


1. “When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.”

2. “You don't make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.”

3. “What i like about photographs is that they capture a moment that’s gone forever, impossible to reproduce.”

4. “A picture is a secret about a secret, the more it tells you the less you know.”

5. “All photographs are memento mori. To take a photograph is to participate in another person’s (or thing’s) mortality, vulnerability, mutability. Precisely by slicing out this moment and freezing it, all photographs testify to time’s relentless melt.”

6. “Taking pictures is savoring life intensely, every hundredth of a second.”

7. “It is a cruel, ironical art, photography. The dragging of captured moments into the future; moments that should have been allowed to be evaporate into the past; should exist only in memories, glimpsed through the fog of events that came after. Photographs force us to see people before their future weighed them down....”

8. “To photograph people is to violate them, by seeing them as they never see themselves, by having knowledge of them that they can never have; it turns people into objects that can be symbolically possessed. Just as a camera is a sublimation of the gun, to photograph someone is a subliminal murder - a soft murder, appropriate to a sad, frightened time.”

9. “The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.”

10. “When you photograph people in color, you photograph their clothes. But when you photograph people in Black and white, you photograph their souls!”
