'To the complaint, 'There are no people in these photographs,' I respond, 'There are always two people: the photographer and the viewer.'
Ansel Adams (1902 - 1984)
A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you the less you know.
Diane Arbus (1923 - 1971), (1923-1971)
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.
Henri Cartier Bresson
Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter.
Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900)
