Stray dogs are for him [Elliot Erwitt] a special object. He can find in them the lonely, grim life that reflects tremendously his feelings for humanity. -Ernst Haas

I work from awkwardness. By that I mean I don't like to arrange things. If I stand in front of something, instead of arranging it, I arrange myself. -Diane Arbus

I have gradually confused photography and life and as a result of this I believe I am able to work out of myself at an almost precognitive level. -Jerry Uelsmann

I respect everything in change and the solomn beauty of life and death. I believe man will obtain freedom of spirit of society, and therefore while man amidst the emence beauty of objective bodies, he must possess the capacity of self perfection and must observe and represent his world with full confidence. I believe photography is a tool to express our positive assessment of the world. A tool to acquire ultimate happiness and belief. -Ansel Adams

The most refined skills of color printing, the intricate techniques of wide-angle photography, provide us pictures of trivia bigger and more real than life. We forget that we see trivia and notice only that the reproduction is so good. Man fulfils his dream and by photographic magic produces a precise image of the Grand Canyon. The result is not that he adores nature or beauty the more. Instead he adores his camera -and himself. -Daniel J. Boorstin, ch. 4 (1961)., "The Image : A Guide to Pseudo-Events in America" by Daniel Joseph Boorstin, ISBN: 0679741801
This book is available from Amazon.com

The state of mind of a photographer while creating is a blank...For those who would equate "blank" with a kind of static emptiness, I must explain that this is a special kind of blank. It is a very active state of mind really, a very receptive state of mind, ready at an instant to grasp an image, yet with no image pre-formed in it at any time. We should note that the lack of a pre-formed pattern or preconceived idea of how anything ought to look is essential to this blank condition. Such a state of mind is not unlike a sheet of film itself - seemingly inert, yet so sensitive that a fraction of a second's exposure conceives a life in it. (Not just life, but "a" life). -Minor WhiteThe Camera Mind and Eye
