Photography is simultaneously and instantaneously the recognition of a fact and the rigorous organization of visually perceived forms that express and signify that fact

Pictures, regardless of how they are created and recreated, are intended to be looked at. This brings to the forefront not the technology of imaging, which of course is important, but rather what we might call the eyenology (seeing).

Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again.

I suddenly understood that a photograph could fix eternity in an instant.

The picture is good or not from the moment it was caught in the camera.

All I care about these days is painting — photography has never been more than a way into painting, a sort of instant drawing.

The Photography is a chopper which in the eternity seizes the moment which dazzled it.
