Photographs are taken to push things away from one’s mind. My stories are a way of closing your eyes.
Kafka

The challenge

The challenge for the photographer? To contrast this tidal wave of redundance with informative images.
Vilém Flusser

Differently....

Differently from any other form of visual art, a photograph is neither a reproduction, nor an imitation, nor an interpretation of the subject, rather its mark, its footprint. No painting or drawing, no matter how realistic, belong to the subject the way photography does.
John Berger

Ah-ha!

Best wide-angle lens? Two steps backward and look for the ah-ha.
Hernst Haas

Essential

When a day goes by without me having done anything related to photography, it feels like I neglected something essential. It feels like I forgot to wake up.
Richard Avedon

Ansel Adams
