Reflection on Photography

Today is the last day of the year and I would like to share some quotes that I have come across and that I have found inspiring and motivating.


1. Creativity grows out of two things: curiosity & imagination.
'Benny Goodman', American Jazz Musician

2. The aim of creative photography is to make a visual interpretation of an experience, not just to record an image.
'Monte Nagler', Photographer

3. Eventually I discovered for myself the utterly simple prescription for creativity: be intensely yourself. Don't try to be outstanding; don't try to be a success; don't try to do pictures for others to look at - just please yourself.
'Ralph Steiner', Photographer and Filmmaker

4. A dream is your creative vision for your life in the future. You must break out of your current comfort zone and become comfortable with the unfamiliar and the unknown.
'Denis Waitley', American Speaker


5. Thinking should be done before and after, not during photographing. Success depends on the extent of one's general culture; one's set of values, one's clarity of mind, one's vivacity. The thing to be feared most is the artificially contrived, the contrary to life.
'Henri Cartier-Bresson', French Photographer

Have a happy New Year and all the best to 2009!
