A skillful photographer can photograph anything well.

Trained as a musician, [photographer Ansel] Adams understood the richness of variation that could be unfolded from a simple theme.

Like an organism, photography was born whole. It is in our progressive discovery of it that its history lies.

Photography is a contest between a photographer and the presumptions of approximate and habitual seeing. The contest can be held anywhere.

Because we see reality in different ways, we must understand that we are looking at different truths rather than the truth and that, therefore, all photographs lie in one way or another.

Whatever else a photograph may be about, it is inevitably about photography, the container and vehicle of all its meanings.

Photography is choosing where to point your eye-cone.
