Quote of the Day
November 5, 2009 by planetcity1
The future of photography
does not lie in the cheapness
but in the quality of a picture.
If a photograph is beautiful,
complete, and durable, it
acquires an intrinsic value
before which its price disappears
entirely. For my part, it is my
wish that photography, rather
than falling into domain of
industry or of commerce, might remain in that of art.
That is its only true place, and I shall always seek
to make it progress in that direction.
Gustave Le Gray

I love Surrealism. I really do.
I like the absurd view and
Surrealism is most close to it –
to combine things which
don’t really go together
but yet somehow do anyway
because that is the way
life is – absolutely absurd.

Quote of the Day
October 27, 2009 by planetcity1
Each photograph is only a small,
flat series of tones from black to
white. Its depth is an illusion, its
animation symbolic. Yet it has this
mysterious richness transcending
all its limitations so that our
impressions of major and complex
events may be permanently
fashioned by a single news
photograph.

Quote of the Day
October 26, 2009 by planetcity1
My picture-taking and picture-making
are as different as day and night. I
take my pictures quite unconsciously.
I see them in my mind and. . .
it is done without thinking. I feel the
exposure. My only concern is to
be ready for that moment of truth,
always ready to grasp it quickly
before it’s gone, or to wait
patiently until that split-second when it appears.
Nell Dorr
