Quotes I Like

"To make images is a way of ordering one's world, of exploring and understanding one's relationship to existence. . . . The images we make are often ahead of our understanding, but to say "yes" to a subject is also to have recognized, however dimly, a part of oneself; to live with that image, to accept its significance is perhaps to grow in understanding."

~ John Blakemore

"The virtue of the camera is not the power it has to transform the photographer into an artist, but the impulse it gives him to keep on looking -- and looking."

~ Brooks Atkinson

"To be an artist is to notice every beautiful and tragic thing, to cry freely, to collect experience and shape it into forms that others can share."

~ Jan Phillips

"Images unearthed are not merely random, they are metaphor. I am not creating something else. I am revealing who I am."

~ Catherine Moore

"Excellent day for putting Slinkies on an escalator."

~ Unknown

"We do not remember days, we remember moments."

~ Cesare Pavese

"Life is getting up an hour early to live an hour more."

~ Hal Borland

"The silence spoke loudly of silence,

and the rivers kept speaking,

of rivers, of boulders and air."

~ Jane Hirshfield

"Have you ever noticed how "What the hell" is always the right decision to make?"

~ Terry Johnson

"I really believe there are things nobody would see if I didn't photograph them."

~ Sandra Juto

"Art is not a pastime but a priesthood."

~ Jean Cocteau

"Earth's crammed with Heaven,

And every common bush afire with God;

But only he who sees, takes off his shoes -

The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

~ Elizabeth Barrett Browning
