"Eventually I discovered for myself the utterly simple prescription for creativity; be intensely yourself. Don't try to be outstanding; don't try to be a success; don't try to do pictures for others to look at -- just please yourself." -- Ralph Steiner "I say play your own way. Don't play what the public wants. Play what you want and let the public pick up on what you are doing, even if it takes them fifteen or twenty years." -- Thelonious Monk "When I make a photograph I want it to be an altogether new object, complete and self-contained, whose basic condition is order -- unlike the world of events and actions, whose permanent condition is change and disorder." -- Aaron Siskind "The thing that's important to know is that you never know. You're always sort of feeling your way." -- Diane Arbus "Taking photographs is a means of understanding which cannot be separated from other means of visual expression. It is a way of shouting, of freeing oneself, not of proving or asserting one's own originality. It is a way of life." -- Henri Cartier-Bresson "I photograph continuously, often without a good idea or strong feelings. During this time the photos are nearly all poor, but I believe they develop my seeing and help later on in other photos. I do believe strongly in photography and hope by following it intuitively that when the photographs are looked at they will touch the spirit in people." -- Harry Callahan "Some speak of a return to nature. I wonder where they could have been." -- Frederick Sommer Moi-même: http://www.flickr.com/photos/grantbw/62502281/
