I didn’t see a thread on this already, so thought I’d start one! I’ve always liked this one by Ernst Haas: I see what I think I see what I feel because I am what I see If there is nothing to see and I still see it, That's poetry If there is something to see and everybody sees it That's photography.

From Man Ray:

"Of course, there will always be those who look only at technique, who ask "how", while others of a more curious nature will ask "why". Personally, I have always preferred inspiration to information"

Or even

"All critics should be assasinated"

I think it's a Robert Capa quote but regardless

"if your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough"

Or something.

my favorite

"The desire of any war photographer is to be put out of business" - Robert Capa

"People say photographs don't lie, mine do." - David LaChapelle

"When I ask to photograph someone, it is because I love the way they look and I think I make that clear. I'm paying them a tremendous compliment. What I'm saying is, I want to take you home with me and look at you for the rest of my life." - Amy Arbus
