Thank you to Hákon Ágústsson of Photo Quotes for sharing some of these great quotations from his site! Photograph:  a picture painted by the sun without instruction in art.  ~Ambrose Bierce You don't take a photograph.  You ask, quietly, to borrow it.  ~Author Unknown Sometimes I do get to places just when God's ready to have somebody click the shutter.  ~Ansel Adams No place is boring, if you've had a good night's sleep and have a pocket full of unexposed film.  ~Robert Adams, Darkroom & Creative Camera Techniques, May 1995 It's weird that photographers spend years or even a whole lifetime, trying to capture moments that added together, don't even amount to a couple of hours.  ~James Lalropui Keivom When you photograph people in colour you photograph their clothes.  But when you photograph people in B&W, you photograph their souls!  ~Ted Grant While there is perhaps a province in which the photograph can tell us nothing more than what we see with our own eyes, there is another in which it proves to us how little our eyes permit us to see.  ~Dorothea Lange Often while traveling with a camera we arrive just as the sun slips over the horizon of a moment, too late to expose film, only time enough to expose our hearts.  ~Minor White A photograph is usually looked at - seldom looked into.  ~Ansel Adams There are always two people in every picture:  the photographer and the viewer.  ~Ansel Adams The world just does not fit conveniently into the format of a 35mm camera.  ~W. Eugene Smith Dodging and burning are steps to take care of mistakes God made in establishing tonal relationships.  ~Ansel Adams I think a photography class should be a requirement in all educational programs because it makes you see the world rather than just look at it.  ~Author Unknown A good snapshot stops a moment from running away.  ~Eudora Welty The camera can photograph thought.  ~Dirk Bogarde I.

Bill Gates Internet, Tomorrow, Global You arrive at a village, and in this calm environment, one starts to hear echo. Yannick Noah Calm, Hear, Echo The new electronic independence re-creates the world in the image of a global village. Marshall McLuhan Technology, Global, Image One of my earliest memories is walking up a muddy road into the mountains. It was raining. Behind me, my village was burning. When there was school, it was under a tree. Then the United Nations came. They fed me, my family, my community. Ban Ki-moon Family, Community, Memories If you're the village blacksmith and a model T comes along, you better become a mechanic. People's lives are better when they get news online versus having to wait for the morning paper. It's a lot more efficient, a lot more real time, a lot less waste. Marc Andreessen Morning, Time, News What had brought me to New York in the autumn of 1972 was a letter of recommendation written by Norman Mailer, the author of 'The Naked and the Dead' and American literature's leading heavyweight contender, to Dan Wolf, the delphic editor of 'The Village Voice.' James Wolcott Autumn, Wolf, Literature I, and others like me - trap stars - we always considered ourselves Robin Hoods: we go out and get the money. Just think, if you was in the village and you a hunter, you take pride in going out to hunt the prey and bring it back for the village to eat. In our situation, we took pride in getting money so that the hood could eat. Young Jeezy Money, Stars, Pride People often ask me what I consider my goal to be at TOMS.
