Today is World Photography Day, a day when photographers and photography enthusiasts from all over the world celebrate the art, the passion, the means of expression that ties them all together.
“If you are truly successful in capturing the pulse of life, then you can speak of a good photograph.”
“You don’t take a photograph, you make it.”
“If your pictures aren’t good enough you’re not close enough.”
“Don’t shoot what it looks like. Shoot what it feels like.”
“Taking pictures is savoring life intensely, every hundredth of a second.”
“The eye should learn to listen before it looks.”
“When I have a camera in my hand, I know no fear.”
“Which of my photographs is my favorite? The one I’m going to take tomorrow.”
“A good photograph is one that communicates a fact, touches the heart and leaves the viewer a changed person for having seen it. It is, in a word, effective.”
“A portrait is not made in the camera but on either side of it.”
