"I’ll do the printing myself until I die. Printing is a personal thing. I couldn’t print your work. You couldn’t print mine. It wouldn’t be the same. So when I die, I’ll have all of my negatives destroyed”

Brett Weston
(1911-1993)

“Of course I am curious and when I arrive in a place I like to see and understand what happens around me. However, I need to travel slowly and I avoid plane trips. A photographer must not run but walk, tirelessly. Then he can seize what is on offer on the pavement, at the street corner, in life."

~ Henri Cartier-Bresson
(1908 - 2004)

“Come forth into the light of things, let nature be your teacher.”

"We live in trying times. Maybe this is the one thing everyone can agree on. There is a soothing and meditative quality to observing gently breaking waves. From the sounds to the random designs of the unique patterns; these experiences can transform us by shifting focus to something real, primal, and foundational. Such was the case of this photograph, made from the Venice (California) pier. I wanted to distill the shapes I was observing into core, minimalist elements."

~ Jeffrey Conley

"In our life there is a single color, as on an artist’s palette, which provides the meaning of life and art. It is the color of love."

~ Marc Chagall

"My artistic eye is black and white. I'm used to seeing and visualizing in black and white and have only one way of taking pictures."
