PHASEFIVE

I stumbled across this article a couple of days ago: https://greatbigphotographyworld.com/photography-quotes/

It lists 149 quotes about photography, aligned to different photographic genres, and wraps up with the following take away. 

“Reflecting on these quotes, it’s clear that photography is much more than a technical skill; it’s a profound way of seeing and experiencing the world. Let these quotes remind you to stay curious, be patient, and always seek the beauty in the ordinary. Keep exploring, keep creating, and let your passion for photography shine through every shot.”

It’s difficult not to agree with every one of the quotes, but some resonate more than others.  Here’s my top 5:

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

“A photographer went to a socialite party in New York. As he entered the front door, the host said: ‘I love your pictures – they’re wonderful; you must have a fantastic camera.’ He said nothing until dinner was finished, then: ‘That was a wonderful dinner; you must have a terrific stove.” ― Sam Haskins

“The best camera is the one you have with you.” ― Chase Jarvis

“Creating great images isn’t about the tools.” ― Jerry Uelsmann

“Photographers don’t take pictures. They create images.” ― Mark Denman
