Quotes
|
| Carole Lombard: Armed and Dangerous image by LIFE magazine |
"Once the amateur's naive approach and humble willingness to learn fades away, the creative spirit of good photography dies with it. Every professional should remain always in his heart an amateur."
"It is more important to click with people than to click the shutter."
"We are only beginning to learn what to say in a photograph. The world we live in is a succession of fleeting moments, any one of which might say something significant."
"I don't like to work with assistants. I'm already one too many; the camera alone would be enough."
