"By Interstate 70: a dog skeleton, a vacuum cleaner, TV dinners, a doll, a pie, rolls of carpet....Later, next to the South Platte River: algae, broken concrete, jet contrails, the smell of crude oil.... What I hope to document, though not at the expense of surface detail, is the form that underlies this apparent chaos." - Robert Adams

"How do I say it? The way I would put it is that I get totally out of myself. It’s the closest I come to not existing, I think, which is the best--which is to me attractive. "- Garry Winogrand

"..The challenge of photography is to show the thing photographed so that our feelings are awakened and hidden aspects are revealed to us." - Emmet Gowin 

"To myself I am only a child playing on the beach, while vast oceans of truth lie undiscovered before me." - Isaac Newton

"The artists must see all things as if he were seeing them for the first time. All his life he must see as he did when he was a child." - Henri Matisse

"Photography helps people to see." - Berenice Abbott

"I've been asked if I think there will ever come a time when all people come together. I would like to think there will. All we can do is hope and dream and work toward that end. And that's what I've tried to do all my life." -Gordon Parks

"..everything around us, dead or alive, in the eyes of a crazy photographer mysteriously takes on many variations, so that a seemingly dead object comes to life through light or by its surroundings.... To capture some of this - I suppose that's lyricism." - Josef Sudek

"There is a job to be done...to record the truth. I want to wake people up!" - James Nachtwey

"I love how photography, when used intuitively, tells you about yourself and your relationship to the world." -Len Jenshel

"I really believe there are things nobody would see if I didn't photograph them."- Diane Arbus

"Of course, there will always be those who look only at technique, who ask "how," while others of a more curious nature will ask "why." Personally, I have always preferred inspiration to information." - Man Ray

"The process of photographing is a pleasure: eyes open, receptive, sensing, and at some point, connecting. It's thrilling to be outside your mind, your eyes far ahead of your thoughts." - Henry Wessel
