Quick Quotes: The Difficulty In Making A Good Photograph
I often offer photography related quotes as part of this blog, which I have always labeled “Quick Quotes”. For the first time, I thought I would put together a themed version of “Quick Quotes”. Today’s theme: the difficulty in making a quality photograph.
“Lazy vision can’t be recovered in Photoshop. There is no Un-Suck filter.”
David DuChemin
“Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst.”
Henri Cartier-Bresson
“If I knew how to take a good photograph, I’d do it every time”
Robert Doisneau
“It takes a lot of imagination to be a good photographer. You need less imagination to be a good painter because you can invent things. But in photography everything is so ordinary; it takes a lot of looking before you learn to see the extraordinary.”
David Bailey
And thus I start the new year hoping to be able to ‘see’ and take just a few good photos.
Happy New Year to all!

Thanks for sharing these Howard they are all pretty spot on, I really like David Baileys quote, I tend to hang out with few painters and I will use this one on them often !!
Thanks. Just don’t hold me responsible for what your painter friends say in return!
Here’s to seeing the extraordinary! Happy 2013!
Thanks and Happy New Year Con!
Good set here Howard. Some good reminders also. I imagine painters would take issue with the last one.
Doesn’t it take imagination to invent things that never existed?
Yeah, I guess they would take issue but, hey, I didn’t say it, I just reported it LOL!!
