The goal is not to change your subjects, but for the subject to change the photographer.
Henri Cartier-Bresson: Actually, I'm not all that interested in the subject of photography. Once the picture is in the box, I'm not all that interested in what happens next. Hunters, after all, aren't cooks.
DeGriff: There will be times when you will be in the field without a camera. And, you will see the most glorious sunset or the most beautiful scene that you have ever witnessed. Don't be bitter because you can't record it. Sit down, drink it in, and enjoy it for what it is!

Robert Brault: It pleases me to take amateur photographs of my garden, and it pleases my garden to make my photographs look professional.
John Loengard: A Ming vase can be well-designed and well-made and is beautiful for that reason alone. I don't think this can be true for photography. Unless there is something a little incomplete and a little strange, it will simply look like a copy of something pretty. We won't take an interest in it."Pictures Under Discussion"
Mary Ellen Mark: I just think it's important to be direct and honest with people about why you're photographing them and what you're doing. After all, you are taking some of their soul.

John Berger: All photographs are there to remind us of what we forget. In this - as in other ways - they are the opposite of paintings. Paintings record what the painter remembers. Because each one of us forgets different things, a photo more than a painting may change its meaning according to who is looking at it.
