"Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again." - Henri Cartier-Bresson

"Photography, fortunately, to me has not only been a profession but also a contact between people - to understand human nature and record, if possible, the best in each individual." - Nickolas Muray

"Maybe because it's entirely an artist's eye, patience and skill that makes an image and not his tools." - Ken Rockwell, Your Camera Does Not Matter, 2005

"No matter how advanced your camera you still need to be responsible for getting it to the right place at the right time and pointing it in the right direction to get the photo you want." - Ken Rockwell, Your Camera Does Not Matter, 2005

"Your equipment DOES NOT affect the quality of your image. The less time and effort you spend worrying about your equipment the more time and effort you can spend creating great images. The right equipment just makes it easier, faster or more convenient for you to get the results you need." - Ken Rockwell, Your Camera Does Not Matter, 2005
