Photographs of people are
often frozen motion -
the moment made eternal.
In nature photography,
the opposite applies …
eternity is frozen and made
into a moment. We are
granted a glimpse of eternity itself.
Gudmundur Andri Thorsson
(1957 - )
Icelandic author, editor and critic

Human gesture and expression are the essence of photography. It’s not about lights or fast lenses and fast film. It’s the ability to capture a moment in time. To capture the spirit of someone in that magic box is wonderful. It’s what I fell in love with as a kid.
John Shearer
American Photographer
Note: I’ve found sites for two different John Shearers – either may or may not belong to the Quote of the Day Photographer mentioned above. Both, however, appear to have singers and musicians as their subjects:

I have been beset with a sense
of urgency to record those parts
of our heritage which seem to be
receding as quickly as the view
from the rear of a speeding train.
I fear that we are eradicating
the evidence of our past
accomplishments so quickly
that in time we may well lose
the sense of who we are.

(1932- )

| One very important difference
between color and monochromatic
photography is this: in black and white
you suggest; in color you state.
Much can be implied by suggestion,
but statement demands certainty…
absolute certainty.
