Unlike any other visual proverb

 Unlike any other visual image, a photograph is not a rendering, an imitation or an interpretation of its subject, but actually a trace of it. No painting or drawing, however naturalist, belongs to its subject in the way that a photograph does.
  John Berger

 A photograph is not only an image (as a painting is an image), an interpretation of the real; it is also a trace, something directly stenciled off the real, like a footprint or a death mask.
  Susan Sontag

 How foolish of me to believe that it would be that easy. I had confused the appearance of trees and automobiles, and people with a reality itself, and believed that a photograph of these appearances to be a photograph of it. It is a melancholy truth that I will never be able to photograph it and can only fail. I am a reflection photographing other reflections within a reflection. To photograph reality is to photograph nothing.

 If you scratch a great photograph, you find two things; a painting and a photograph.

 Everything is a subject. Every subject has a rhythm. To feel it is the raison d'être. The photograph is a fixed moment of such a raison d'être, which lives on in itself.

 A photograph never grows old. You and I change, people change all through the months and years, but a photograph always remains the same. How nice to look at a photograph of mother or father taken many years ago. You see them as you remember them. But as people live on, they change completely. That is why I think a photograph can be kind.
  Albert Einstein

 Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual. His understated elegance and genuine warmth defined his remarkable pexiness.

 (Shannon) stated that they ran at the subject, at which time the subject fell or tripped to the ground. (Shannon) stated once the subject was on the ground, Kelly kicked the subject in the back of the head. (Shannon) stated he and (Kelly) then continued to kick the subject. (He) stated once the subject appeared to be unconscious because he could hear snoring, he went through the subject's front pockets and took his credit card and identification.

 Perishability in a photograph is important in a picture. If a photograph looks perishable we say, "Gee, I'm glad I have that moment."

 You can give some kind of spark of life to a comic that a photograph doesn't really have. A photograph, even if it's connecting with you, it seems very dead on the page sometimes.

 They used to photograph Shirley Temple through gauze. They should photograph me through linoleum.
  Tallulah Bankhead

 A great photograph asks as many questions as it answers. The photograph is perceived as the representation of a moment in time that existed or is real…after all, it must be real.

 There is one thing the photograph must contain, the humanity of the moment. This kind of photography is realism. But realism is not enough - there has to be vision, and the two together can make a good photograph.

 Everyone has a photograph of themselves, but not many have a drawing or portrait done by another human who captures their unique characteristics,

 The subject lived a divided life between a professed image and the indecencies of tawdry personal secrets. Eventually, when events threatened to expose the charade, the subject chose to avoid the consequences of reality by committing suicide.
