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

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

Words of wisdom for every photographer: 'Thinking is more interesting than knowing, but less interesting than looking'. So said Goethe.

Photographers have already photographed everything too many times, except cheese.

I was offered $100,000 for a print. Then I woke up.

Be gentle and tolerant. Intimacy will grow, but will take time and cannot be rushed. If all goes well, soon you will become more familiar with each other, and handling will forge awkward fumbling and fondling into more satisfying and productive caresses and eventually into a comfortable working partnership. At this stage you will be ready to accompany your new camera into the world.

If you take pictures does that make you an art thief?
