Photography  

“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.”
- Aaron Siskind
(1903-1991 – American abstract expressionist photographer.)

“To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.”
- Elliott Erwitt
(born 1928 in Paris, France – advertising and journalistic photographer known for his black and white candid shots of ironic and absurd situations within everyday settings — the master of the “indecisive moment”.)

“Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still.”
- Dorothea Lange
(1895–1965 – Influential American documentary photographer and photojournalist, best known for her Depression-era work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA).)

“It is one thing to photograph people. It is another to make others care about them by revealing the core of their humanness.”
- Paul Strand
(1890-1976, American photographer and filmmaker)

“Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face, the beauty of the earth and skies that man has inherited, and the wealth and confusion man has created. It is a major force in explaining man to man.”
- Edward Steichen
(1879-1973 – American photographer, painter, and art gallery and museum curator, born in Luxembourg.)

“I take photographs with love, so I try to make them art objects. But I make them for myself first and foremost – that is important.”
- Jacques-Henri Lartigue
(1894-1986 – French photographer and painter, most famous for his stunning photos of automobile races, planes and fashionable Parisian women from the turn of the century.)
