If taste for life diminishes, the photographs pale, because taking pictures is like savoring life at 125th of a second.

I cannot stop [taking photographs of scars] because they are so much like a photograph… They are visible events, recorded in the past. Both the scars and the photographs are the manifestation of sorrow for the many things which cannot be retrieved... The natural choice is to photograph what you like. I chose what I hated. Brian Duffy
[Photographer, b. 1933, London, d. 2010, London.]
One of the great problems with photography is that any twat you give a camera to can take a photograph. What that does to the photographer is immediately create an inferiority complex within him because anyone can do it, which of course they can. Julia Margaret Cameron
[Photographer, b. 1815, Calcutta, India, d. 1879, Kalutara, Ceylon.]
From the first moment I handled my lens with a tender ardour, and it has become to me as a living thing, with voice and memory and creative vigour. James Nachtwey
[Photographer, b. 1948, Syracuse, New York, lives in New York.]
If I can upset people, if I can ruin their day, then I have done my job. Philip Jones Griffiths
[Photojournalist, b. 1936, Rhuddian, Wales, d. 2008, London.]
I attempt to channel my anger into the tip of my forefinger as I press the shutter. Man Ray (Emanuel Radnitsky)
[Artist, b. 1890, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, d. 1976, Paris.]
Cut out the eye from a photograph of one who has been loved but is seen no more.Attach the eye to the pendulum of a metronome and regulate the weight to suit the tempo desired.
Keep going to the limit of endurance.
With a hammer well-aimed, try to destroy the whole at a single blow.
(1932, describing “Object To Be Destroyed,” made using a metronome and the photographed eye of artist, lover and collaborator Lee Miller who left him.)
