A quote for the day: Robert Gillis

Photography is like making cheese. It takes a hell of a lot of milk to make a small amount of cheese just like it takes a hell of a lot of photos to get a good one. Robert Gillis

A quote for the day: Benerice Abbot

Like every other means of expression, photography, if it is to be utterly honest and direct, should be related to the life of the times – the pulse of today. Benerice Abbot

A quote for the day: Susan Sontag

To us, the difference between the photographer as an individual eye and the photographer as an objective recorder seems fundamental, the difference often regarded, mistakenly, as separating photography as art from photography as document. But both are logical extensions of what photography means: note-taking on, potentially, everything in the world, from every possible angle. Susan Sontag

A quote for the day: John Berger

All photographs are there to remind us of what we forget.  In this - as in other ways - they are the opposite of paintings.  Paintings record what the painter remembers.  Because each one of us forgets different things, a photo more than a painting may change its meaning according to who is looking at it.
