Like every other means of expression, photography, if it is to be utterly honest and direct, should be related to the life of the times - the pulse of today.

Imagine a world without photography, one could only imagine.

What the human eye observes casually and incuriously, the eye of the camera (the lens) notes with relentless fidelity.

I have yet to see a fine photograph which is not a good document.

Self-conscious artiness is fatal, but it certainly would not hurt to study composition in general. Having a basic understanding of composition would help construct a better organized image.

Photography can only represent the present. Once photographed, the subject becomes part of the past.

Photography is not only drawing with light, though light is the indispensable agent of its being. It is modeling or sculpturing with light, to reproduce the plastic form of natural objects. It is painting with light.
