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.  ~John Berger

I'm not a particularly verbose person.  I think that's why I like taking pictures... they speak for themselves.  ~Jeb Dickerson

I never question what to do, it tells me what to do.  The photographs make themselves with my help.  ~Ruth Bernhard

Perishability in a photograph is important in a picture.  If a photograph looks perishable we say, "Gee, I'm glad I have that moment."  ~John Loengard, "Pictures Under Discussion"
