Shutter Quotations

Ansel Adams

In my photographs it is apparent that there was no posing at the moment I released the shutter.
Jerzy Kosinski

When that shutter clicks, anything else that can be done afterward is not worth consideration.
Edward Steichen

Never boss people around. It's more important to click with people than to click the shutter.
Alfred Eisenstaedt
