Since I've become so addicted to photography over the past year, I have found it fascinating to read the quotes of so many photographers and this evening I will share a few more. Many of them apply to far more than just photography.
Photography deals exquisitely with appearances, but nothing is what it appears to be. ~Duane Michals
The negative is the equivalent of the composer's score, and the print the performance. ~Ansel Adams
Everyone has a photographic memory, but not everyone has film. ~Author Unknown
If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine
The fourth picture , about Smelling the Coffee.....
A thousand busy souls
up at dawn,
stretching,
smiling,
at a dark sky
shutting off
the alarm
that says
Welcome to a new day.
And she
springs up,
warm in the kitchen,
toasting here,
boiling there,
percolating,
a few wonderful cups,
bringing a flavour
to a semi dark dawn.
Curtains apart,
she glances
at the sky
and inhales....
The aroma
of the coffee
rises
palely pink
in steam
through the sky
saying,
"Sylvia,
Good morning !
Great coffee , aint it ?"....

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
The goal is not to change your subjects, but for the subject to change the photographer. ~Author Unknown
