"There is no ART without heART."

"Doubt is the mother of all knowledge."

"Among eunuchs a man with only one ball is king."

_{Leachim Resiak, cabalistic philosopher (1459-1534)}


"It is one thing to photograph people. It is another to make others care about them by revealing the core of their humanity."

_{Paul Strand}


"To express yourself as you are, without any intentional, fancy way of adjusting yourself, is the most important thing."

_{Shunryu Suzuki}


"Those who feel nothing, or not completely at the time of the exposure, relying upon subsequent manipulation to reach an unpremeditated end, are predestined to failure. The difference between a good and a bad art in any medium or of any age lies in the creative mind rather than in skill of hands. The way of seeing is what counts and that is conditioned by the artist's attitude, not by skill as craftsman. Given a big enough artist and he will make himself a consummate craftsman to better express his thoughts."


_{Edward Weston in "America and Photography"}


"Within every man and woman a secret is hidden, and as a photographer it is my task to reveal it if I can. The revelation, if it comes at all, will come in a small fraction of a second with an unconscious gesture, a gleam of the eye, a brief lifting of the mask that all humans wear to conceal their innermost selves from the world. In that fleeting interval of opportunity the photographer must act or lose his prize."

_{Yousuf Karsh (1908-2002)}
