Don’t shoot what it looks like. Shoot what it feels like.

If you want to be a better photographer, stand in front of more interesting stuff.

To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place…. I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.
Elliott Erwitt (via A Photo Student) -
“I think I always have been drawn to photography because I want to construct a perfect world. I want to try to create this moment that is separate from the chaos of my life, and to do that I think I create enormous disorder. And I like that craziness because I think that it creates almost a sort of neurotic energy on the set, and through that there is a moment of transportation. And in all my pictures what I am ultimately interested in is that moment of transcendence or transportation, where one is transported into another place, into a perfect, still world. Despite my compulsion to create this still world, it always meets up against the impossibility of doing so. So, I like the collision between this need for order and perfection and how it collides with a sense of the impossible. I like where possibility and impossibly meet.” - Gregory Crewdson

Taking pictures is like tiptoeing into the kitchen late at night and stealing Oreo cookies.

Beauty can be seen in all things, seeing and composing the beauty is what separates the snapshot from the photograph.

Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle.

I am hungry, but it’s not worth moving.

Nothing happens when you sit at home. I always make it a point to carry a camera with me at all times…I just shoot at what interests me at that moment.
Elliott Erwitt -
While there is perhaps a province in which the photograph can tell us nothing more than what we see with our own eyes, there is another in which it proves to us how little our eyes permit us to see.
Dorothea Lange -
A photo says, you were happy, and I wanted to catch that. A photo says, you were so important to me that I put down everything else to come watch.
Jodi Picoult (via quote-book) -
Your photography is a record of your living, for anyone who really sees.
