A photograph is always invisible; it is not it that we see. -Roland Barthes	"Photography is a tool for dealing with things everybody knows about, but isn't attending to." - Emmet Gowin
Many pictures turn out to be limp translations of the known world instead of vital objects, which create an intrinsic world of their own. There is a vast difference between taking a picture and making a photograph. -Robert Heinecken	If you are not willing to see more than is visible, you won't see anything. -Ruth Bernhard
In photography, the smallest thing can become a big subject; an insignificant human detail can become a leitmotiv. We see and we make seen as a witness to the world around us; the event, in its natural activity, generates an organic rhythm of forms. -Henri Cartier-Bresson	The camera introduces us to unconscious optics, as does psychoanalysis to unconscious impulses. -Walter Benjamin, The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction, sct. 13 (1936; repr. in Illuminations, ed. by Hannah Arendt, 1968)
Memory is deceptive because it is colored by today's events. -Albert Einstein	You can't depend on your eyes if your imagination is out of focus.-Mark Twain
"The fluid possession of things, as well as of knowledge, is inseparable from the construction of identity. Intellectual montage fights linearity by showing how all items not only are connected forward and backward over time and space but are constantly being packaged and repackaged under the pressure of different contexts." Barbara Stafford-Visual Analogies	As far as I am concerned, taking photographs is a means of understanding that 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
How charming it would be if it were possible to cause these natural images to imprint themselves durable and remain fixed upon the paper! And why should it not be possible? I asked myself. -William Henry Fox Talbot	The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak. -Hans Hoffman
"Improvisation is where real knowledge comes into play, because you generate new information. Knowledge is action, information is more static." DJ Spooky responding to the question "What do you see as the distinction between information and knowledge.	"...To be a photographer, one must photograph. No amount of book learning, no checklist of seminars attended, can substitute for the simple act of making pictures. Experience is the best teacher of all. And for that, there are no guarantees that one will become an artist. Only the journey matters... -Harry Callahan
"I photograph to find out what something will look like photographed." - Gary Winograd	"Whever there is light, one can photograph." Alfred Steiglitz
“Be patient towards all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in foreign languages.Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along to some distant day into the answer.”-Ranier Maria Rilke	“The crisis of contemporary art is a consequence of two variables: the inadequacy of traditional art media to transmit information, and the inefficiency of the information they carry in regards to language, thought and action.”- Waldermo Cordeiro, 1968
“I prefer the computer for its ability to create new relationships, locate patterns, and organize, rather than as a collaging or special effects tool.” Craig Hickman	“The illusion of knowledge is probably increasing as rapidly as any real knowledge.” Paul Berger in response to the question, " “How is digital imaging effecting Knowledge.”
