3) The single most important component of a camera is the twelve inches behind it. - Ansel Adams
4) If I saw something in my viewfinder that looked familiar to me, I would do something to shake it up. - Garry Winogrand
5) The best camera is the one that you have with you. - Chase Jarvis

8) A good photograph is knowing where to stand. - Ansel Adams
9) A true photograph need not be explained nor can it be contained with words. - Ansel Adams
10) The most difficult thing for me is a portrait. You have to try and put your camera between the skin of a person and his shirt. - Henri Cartier-Bresson

21) I am forever chasing light. Light turns the ordinary into something magical. - Trent Parke
22) I only use my camera like I use my toothbrush, it does the job. - Don McCullin
23) Sharpness is a bourgeois concept. - Henri Cartier-Bresson
