In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite. Paul Dirac Mar 03 09 07:17 pm Link "Photographers do this for a living, every single day -- they point their lenses toward every single corner of our world and somehow make the mundane mesmerizing through their artistic eye. It's all a matter of being aware of your surroundings and realizing that there are some really amazing and interesting things to look at, even if it may just be something so simple as a wall being covered up by paint." - Ward Jenkins "Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again." - Henri Cartier Bresson "I was one of Them: the Strange Ones. The Funny People. The Odd Tribes of autograph collectors and photographers. The Ones who waited through long days and nights, who used other people's dreams for their lives." - Ray Bradbury Mar 04 09 05:41 am Link âThe camera cannot compete with painting as long as it cannot be used in Heaven or Hell.â -Edvard Munch Mar 04 09 05:51 am Link Have Pentax Will Travel wrote: But is seems you're the only one willing to admit it. Mar 04 09 05:59 am Link No man is an island, but many are surrounded by burnt bridges. Life is not a puzzle. Once a puzzle is solved it's only good for nostalgiac curiosity. Certainty is death, questions give us life. If we think we truly know a thing, we are sadly mistaken. Only by feeling can we gain a measure of knowledge.

"The two most common elements in the universe are hydrogen, and stupidity." -- Harlan Ellison Mar 05 09 06:36 am Link "The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance." - Aristotle "Fashion & commerical photography speaks only to the present or the self. Its fundamental weakness is that its ultimately soulless." - Diane Arbus. "To the critic, art is a noun. .... To the artist, art is a verb." -David Bayles and Ted Orland, Art and Fear "You're confusing product with process. Most people, when they criticize, whether they like it or hate it, they're talking about product. That's not art, that's the result of art. Art, to whatever degree we can get a handle on (I'm not sure that we really can) is a process. It begins in the heart and the mind with the eyes and hands." -Jeff Melvoin, Northern Exposure, Fish Story, 1994 Whether he is an artist or not, the photographer is a joyous sensualist, for the simple reason that the eye traffics in feelings, not in thoughts. - Walker Evans All true artists, whether they know it or not, create from a place of no-mind, from inner stillness. - Eckhart Tolle "Art is a human activity consisting in this, that one man consciously, by means of certain external signs, hands on to others feelings he has lived through, and that other people are infected by these feelings and also experience them." -Leo Tolstoy "An artist is someone who produces things that people don't need to have but that he - for some reason - thinks it would be a good idea to give them." - Andy Warhol "To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong." -Joseph Chilton Pearce "The aim of life is to live, and to live means to be aware ~ joyously, drunkenly, serenely, divinely aware." Henry Miller. "Art has never been made while thinking of art." - Niko Stumpo, The Wooster Collective, December 2006 "It is the artist's blessing to be able to create, but it is also their curse that to be able to create, they see and feel things in a magnified fashion, and it is through the expression of those perceptions and feelings into physical form that some of most beautiful works are born." - Grendel4s I would shoot with you anytime. I'll make you look the way I need you to look, and i'll get the reaction from you I need to get. I'll make you a corporate vice president, or an 18 year old hooker or the girl next door.

When I'm done with you, you'll forget all about every loser asshole that said he couldn't work with you because you don't have the right stuff. I'm a photographer, I'll make you into whatever I want to make you. - Bob Randall Mar 05 09 06:45 am Link "Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections but instantly set about remedying them - every day begin the task anew." ~ Saint Francis de Sales (1567 - 1622) Mar 05 09 10:59 am Link fail to prepare and prepare to fail are the wurds Paul Parkus told me Mar 05 09 11:30 am Link Tim Hammond wrote: These ideas seem to be common motifs in popular art quotations.

He has used his art as a means for his ego trip. Artists are very egoistic, constantly bragging about themselves and constantly fighting with each other; everybody thinks he is the first and last. But that is not true art." - Osho "The true artist disappears utterly. Those other people are only technicians." - Osho "The less the artist is in his work, the more perfect it is." - Osho Apr 12 09 01:03 pm Link "Art is the tree of life. Science is the tree of death." ---william blake "The name of this job [an artist] is: 'Look at me! Ain't I smart? Ain't I cute? Ain't I clever?" ---george carlin âI passionately hate the idea of being with it; I think an artist has always to be out of step with his time.â --orson welles Apr 12 09 01:08 pm Link "I ain't proud of some stuff I done.

"It's the people who are overconfident who are the ones putting out the biggest piles of shit. If you're at that place where you're working hard but don't feel like you know what you're doing anymore,then you're on to something." - Billie Joe Armstrong in Rolling Stone May 29 09 12:07 pm Link "What we see in the viewfinder is emotional. What we see in the enlarger is intellectual, and art is emotion." Lucien Clergue âAt forty-two I decided to become a photographer because it offered a means of creative thought and action. I didn't rationalize this, I just felt it intuitively and followed my intuition, which I have never regretted.â Â Wynn Bullock âI didn't want to tell the tree or weed what it was.
