The photographer will never replace the painter; one is a man, the other a machine. Let us compare them no longer. (1848)
Basically I'm always looking for things. Any good photographer should always be looking for something, you know.
I have a really hard time stepping out of a limousine and confronting a sh*tload of photographers who are all screaming at you, because it's like saying, 'yeah, yeah, here I am!'
I liked the idea of being a photographer, just that you take this one picture of this one thing that'll never happen again - it's a bit weird when you think about it.
Painting is the frozen evidence of a performance.
I am always stimulated by people. Almost never by ideas.
Get yourself in trouble. If you get yourself in trouble, you don't have the answers. And if you don't have the answers, your solution will more likely be personal because no one else's solutions will seem appropriate. You'll have to come up with your own.
It would have been possible to structure my photographs in such a way that no indicators of the present were discernible. However, I wanted to incorporate into the project as a whole the jostling of time-frames I would feel as I set up my tripod on various rocky promontories.
It's more important for a photographer to have very good shoes, than to have a very good camera
You must be open to what otherwise may seem to be a detriment to your 'plans'.
I am neither an economist nor a photographer of monuments, and I am not much of a journalist either. What I am trying to do more than anything else is to observe life.
I don't meet stockbrokers or carpenters or coal miners; I spend all day with actors, composers and photographers.
Photographers should follow their own judgment, and not the fads and dictates of others.
I love going out and it is a bit sad when the photographers stop asking you for your picture.
I remembered seeing it and it was this metallic turbine and I thought it was beautiful. I had never been in a power plant before, but I felt, without being overly dramatic, compelled to make photographs of this for myself.
It takes asking many questions from many perspectives to truly understand something.
Leonard [Nimoy] was such a teacher for me. He was one of the most fully realized human beings I have ever known on every level - in his personal life with his personal relationships and his love for his wife and his evolution with his family. Then as an artist, as an actor, as a writer, as a poet, and as a photographer. He never stopped.
Landscape photography is the supreme test of the photographer - and often the supreme disappointment.
On my YouTube channel, I put up 3-4 videos a week, and I spend a lot of money to maintain that content. When I travel, I travel with a videographer and a photographer no matter what.
Good photography is unpretentious.
