You don't take a picture, you make a picture.

Some photographers take reality... and impose the domination of their own thought and spirit. Others come before reality more tenderly and a photograph to them is an instrument of love and revelation.

My last word s that it all depends on what you visualize.

I've always thought photography was an art form, but it had very low appreciation in the beginning, except for some Europeans, and of course Stieglitz. Stieglitz always considered photography to be an art form and is the "father" of the creative concepts of the twentieth century.

It is easy to take a photograph, but it is harder to make a masterpiece in photography than in any other art medium.

All art is a vision penetrating the illusions of reality, and photography is one form of this vision and revelation.

Millions of men have lived to fight, build palaces and boundaries, shape destinies and societies; but the compelling force of all times has been the force of originality and creation profoundly affecting the roots of human spirit.
