When I'm ready to make a photograph, I think I quite obviously see in my minds eye something that is not literally there in the true meaning of the word. I'm interested in something which is built up from within, rather than just extracted from without.

Dorthea Lange

Wherever there is light, one can photograph.
Alfred Stieglitz

Lewis Hine

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

Daniel Clowes

You don't take a photograph, you make it.
Ansel Adams
