Only with effort can the camera be forced to lie:basically it is an honest medium;so the photographer is much more likely to approach nature in a spirit of inquiry, of communion, instead of the saucy swagger of self-dubbed "artists".
Minor White

I don't care about making photography an art, I want to make good photographs. I'd like to know who first got it in his head that dreaminess and mist is art. Take things as they are; take good photographs, and art will take care of itself.
Edward Steichen.

If you have something to say about life, you must also find a way of saying it clearly. If you achieve that clarity of both perception, and the ability to record it, you will have created your own composition, your own kind of design, related to other people's, yet your own. As a matter of fact, your photography is a record of your living, for anyone who really sees.
Paul Strand.

Photography is nature seen from the eyes outward, painting from the eyes inward. No matter how objective a painter's work may seem to be, he draws upon a store of images upon which his mind has worked. Photography records inalterably the singlle image, while painting records a plurality for images willfully directed by the painter.
Constance Rourke.

I am always photographing everything mentally, as practice.
