This Week's Photographer's Quote

This  Week,s  Photographer,s  Quote,

 "As  I  have practiced it, photography  produces  pleasure
    by  simplicity.
   I  see  something  special  and  show  it  to  the  camera.
     A   picture  is  produced.
  The  moment  is  held  until  someone sees  it.
     Then  it  is  theirs."

"Where there is perhaps  a  province  in  which  the   photograph
      can  tell  us  nothing  more  than  what   we  see  with
       our  own  eyes ,   there  is  another  in  which  it  proves
      to  us  how  little  our  eyes  permit  us  to  see ."

"People don't see things in thirds,
   we see things as a whole.
So  what  I  have  been  doing  for  the  past  few
  years was  trying  to  break  the  preprogrammed  rule
  of  photography  and  turn  natural  landscapes  into
    portraits of  nature . "

This  Week,s  Photographer,s  Quote,

"Photography  records  the  gamut  of  feelings  written
   on  the  human  face,  the  beauty  of  Earth
    and  skies  that  man  has  inherited,  and
     the  wealth  and  confusion  man  has  created .
It  is  a  major  force  in  explaining  man  to  man."

This  Week,s  Photographer,s  Quote

"The best pictures differentiate  themselves by  nuances ...
    a  tiny  relationship -  either  a harmony  or  a  disharmony -
     creates  a  picture.
    A picture  is  the  expression  of  an  impression.
     If  the  beautiful were  not  in  us,
       how  would  we  ever  recognize  it?"

This  Week,s  Photographer,s  Quote

"I  began  to  realize  that  film  sees  the  world  differently
  than  the  human  eye,  and  that  sometimes  those
   differences  cam  make  a  photograph  more  powerful
   than  what  you  actually  observed."

"Light  makes  photography.

This Week's Photographer's Quote

This  Week,s  Photographer,s  Quote,

"The use  of  the term  art  medium  is  ,  to  say  the  lest,
   misleading,  for it  is  the  artist  that  creates  a  work  of  art
     not  the  medium.
  It  is  the  artist  in  photography  that  gives  form  to  content
     by  a  distillation  of  ideas , thought,
         experience , insight  and  understanding."

This  Week,s  Photographer,s  Quote

"First  and foremost , make it an obvious picture of  color!
  Rather than  looking  for  rocks , leaves,  trees,  waterfalls,
   birds ,  flowers , fire hydrants , starfish , boats,
    orchards , or  bridges ,
            focus  your  energy  and  vision
     on  red  , blue , yellow , orange , green  or  violet.
   Color  first  ,  contents  second ! "

Remember  to  "Go Shoot Something"

This Week's Photographer's Quote

This  Week,s  Photographer,s  Quote

"The  medium  of  photography  can  record not only  what  the eye see,
 but  that  which  the  mind's  eye  sees  as  well.
   The  camera  is  not  only  an  extension  of  the  eye , but  of  the  brain.
It  can  see  sharper,  farther , nearer, slower, faster  than  the  eye.
  It  can  see  invisible  light.
It  can  see in the past, present, and future.
  Instead  of  the  camera  only  to  reproduce  objects,
I  wanted  to  use  it  to  make  what  is  invisible  to  the  eye  , visible."

A  lot  of  times  in  landscape  photography,
 patience  and persistence  is  what it takes
to get the results  you  are after.
 Did I get what I  was  looking  for  here ?

This  Week,s  Photographer,s  Quote.

"Portrait  photography  never  had  any  charms  for  me,
   so  I  sought  my  subjects  from  the  house  tops,
   and  finally  from  the  hill-tops  and  about  the  surrounding
   country;
     the  taste  strengthening  as  my  successes  became  greater
     in  proportion  to  the  failures."

"You  learn to  see  by  practice.
    It's  just  like  playing  tennis ,
      you  get  better  the  more  you  play.
     The  more  you  look  around  at  things ,  the  more  you  see.
        the  more  you  photograph ,
    the  more  you  realize  what  can  be  photographed
     and  what  can't  be  photographed.
  You  just  have  to  keep  doing  it."

"...To  be  a  photographer , one  must  photograph.
      No  amount of book  learning ,
         no  check list of seminars attended ,
      can  substitute  for  the  simple  act  of  making  pictures.
        Experience  is  the  best  teacher  of  all.
    And  for  that , there  are  no  guarantees  that  one
     will  become  an  artist  .
           Only   the  journey  matters.

This  Week,s  Photographer,s  Quote,

"Photography  suits  the  temper  of  this  age - of  active  bodies  and  minds.
    It  is  the  perfect  medium  for  one  whose  mind  is  teeming
      with      ideas , imagery , for  a  prolific  worker  who
      would  be  slowed    down  by  painting  or  sculpting ,
           for one  who  sees  quickly
             and  acts   decisively , and  accurately."
