Another (!) edition of other people's thoughts...

More quotes that either inspire or frustrate...

Stare. It is the way to educate your eye, and more. Stare, pry, listen, eavesdrop. Die knowing something. You are not here long.
- Walker Evans

Whether he is an artist or not, the photographer is a joyous sensualist, for the simple reason that the eye traffics in feelings, not in thoughts.
- Walker Evans

Interpretation is the revenge of the intellectual upon art. - Susan Sontag

While there is perhaps a province in which the photograph can tell us nothing more than what we see with our own eyes, there is another in which it proves to us how little our eyes permit us to see. - Dorothea Lange

When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.
-Ansel Adams

The only real voyage of discovery consists not in seeing new landscapes, but in having new eyes, in seeing the universe with the eyes of another, of hundreds of others, in seeing the hundreds of universes that each of them sees.
- Marcel Proust
