"When you find yourself beginning to feel a bond between yourself and the people you photograph, when you laugh and cry with their laughter and tears, you will know you are on the right track." - Weegee

" The camera is much more than a recording apparatus. It is a medium via which messages reach us from another world." - Orson Welles

"Some people's photography is an art. Not mine. Art is a dirty word in photography. All this fine art crap is killing it already." - Helmut Newton

"Our virtues and our failings are inseparable, like force and matter. When they separate, man is no more. " - Nikola Tesla

"I think all art is about control - the encounter between control and the uncontrollable." - Richard Avedon

“If I have any ‘message’ worth giving to a beginner it is that there are no short cuts in photography.” – Edward Weston

"Ultimately success or failure in photographing people depends on the photographer's ability to understand his fellow man." - Edward Weston

"When I have sex with someone I forget who I am. For a minute I even forget I’m human. It’s the same thing when I’m behind a camera. I forget I exist." - Robert Mapplethorpe

" Great photography is always on the edge of failure." - Garry Winogrand

"I don’t think photography has anything remotely to do with the brain. It has to do with eye appeal." - Horst P. Horst

"Be yourself. I much prefer seeing something, even it is clumsy, that doesn't look like somebody else's work." - William Klein

"Avedon claims to have been the best photographer in the '60s - bullshit - Bob Richardson was - despite or because of being insane and strung out on drugs, I managed to do photographs that are considered iconic - being known as the 'photographer's photographer' means I lead and they follow - I'm broke and they are rich." - Bob Richardson

"If you're absent during my struggle, don't expect to be present during my success" - Will Smith

"Either take the lead or follow behind, just stay the fuck out of my way." - James Sullivan
