...photographers who carry 60 pounds of equipment up a hill to photograph a view are not suffering enough, although their whining causes enough suffering among their listeners. No, if they really expect us to respect their search for enlightenment and artistic expression, in [the] future they will drag the equipment up the hill by their genitals and take the view with a tripod leg stuck through their foot.

If you cannot think of anything to say that is useful or enlightening about your images, then don't say anything. There are plenty of other people who would love to put words in your mouth.

I appreciate photographs which celebrate harmony. I don't particularly want to look at chaos. I see enough of that at home.

A few photographers make a killing; the rest can't make a living.

Ask photographers to write and they have nothing to say; ask them to talk about their work and they won't shut up.

There are many reasons why photography does not attract the social and cultural attention it deserves. I would add one more which has received scant attention: it does not make a lot of noise. ... Perhaps photography would be more appreciated if camera shutters fired with the sound of a .357 Magnum.

I agree, intellectualism in photography is overrated. I just wish it could be replaced by common sense.
