- Ansel Adams99◆ A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed.
- Ansel Adams99◆ For me, the camera is a sketch book, an instrument of intuition and spontaneity.

- Henri Cartier-Bresson99◆ There is nothing worse than a sharp image of a fuzzy concept.
- Ansel Adams99◆ Is a picture really worth a thousand words? What thousand words? A thousand words from a lunatic, or a thousand words from Nietzsche? Actually, Nietzsche was a lunatic, but you see my point. What about a thousand words from a rambler vs. 500 words from Mark Twain? He could say the same thing quicker and with more force than almost any other writer. One thousand words from Ginsberg are not even worth one from Wilde. It's wild to declare the equivalency of any picture with any army of 1,000 words. Words from a writer like Wordsworth make you appreciate what words are worth.

- Robert Frank99◆ A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you, the less you know.

- Erica O'Rourke99◆ He owned an expensive camera that required thought before you pressed the shutter, and I quickly became his favorite subject, round-faced, missing teeth, my thick bangs in need of a trim. They are still the pictures of myself I like best, for they convey that confidence of youth I no longer possess, especially in front of a camera.
- Jhumpa Lahiri99
