Taking a photograph is like tiptoeing into the kitchen late at night, and stealing Oreo cookies out of the fridge.
—~Diane Arbus
I’m preparing for a tour on photography. This is what will sum it up. A lesson in observing the rarities of our environment. When photographing, think about what you are documenting and why. There is a strong relationship with the photographer, object, and future viewer. How will you embrace the bond or how will you break it. Just think about it.
Art is essentially the affirmation, the blessing, and the deification of existence
— Friedrich Nietzsche
To be young is to grow. To grow is to live: evolution, continuous growth, is perpetual life. To view life as evolution and not as finality —- this is the true solution for life and for art.
— Piet Mondrian, The Evolution of Humanity is the Evolution of Art (1924)
Facts are sacred, opinion is free.
— C.P. Scott
