It's Wonderful To Be Famous As Long

Some Photographs Are Like A Chekhov Short Story Or A Maupassant Story. They're Quick Things And There's A Whole World In Them. But One Is Unconscious Of It While Shooting.

Thinking Should Be Done Beforehand And Afterwards - Never While Actually Taking A Photograph.

Photography Appears To Be An Easy Activity; In Fact It Is A Varied And Ambiguous Process In Which The Only Common Denominator Among Its Practitioners Is In The Instrument.

Photography Must Seize Upon This Moment And Hold Immobile The Equilibrium Of It. The Photographers Eye Is Perpetually Evaluating. A Photographer Can Bring Coincidence Of Line Simply By Moving His Head A Fraction Of A Millimeter. He Can Modify Perspectives By A Slight Bending Of The Knees. By Placing The Camera Closer To Or Farther From The Subject, He Draws A Detail — And It Can Be Subordinated, Or He Can Be Tyrannized By It.

Thinking Should Be Done Before And After, Not During Photographing.
