"A great photograph is a full expression of what one feels about what is being photographed in the deepest sense and is thereby a true expression of what one feels about life in its entirety."

Ansel Adams

"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."

Ansel Adams

"When people look at my pictures I want them to feel the way they do when they want to read a line of a poem twice."

Robert Frank

"A thing that you see in my pictures is that I was not afraid to fall in love with these people."

Annie Leibovitz

“Art is what we call […] the thing an artist does. It’s not the medium or the oil or the price or whether it hangs on a wall or you eat it. What matters, what makes it art, is that the person who made it overcame the resistance, ignored the voice of doubt and made something worth making. Something risky. Something human. Art is not in the […] eye of the beholder. It’s in the soul of the artist.”

Seth Godin
