“It’s not the camera,it’s the cameraman” for me that’s my quote..it just means that it doesn’t mean that if you have a great camera,all of your photos are great too..even a simple point and shoot can capture a great photo

Some of my favorite quotes are:

“The difference between an amateur and a professional photographer is that the amateur thinks the camera does the work. And they treat the camera with a certain amount of reverence. It is all about the kind of lens you choose, the kind of film stock you use… exactly the sort of perfection of the camera. Whereas, the professional – the real professional – treats the camera with unutterable disdain. They pick up the camera and sling it aside. Because they know it’s the eye and the brain that count, not the mechanism that gets between them and the subject that counts.”
– David Hemmings (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Hemmings)

“Remember that the person you are photographing is 50% of the portrait and you are the other 50%. You need the model as much as he or she needs you. If they don’t want to help you, it will be a very dull picture.”
– Lord Patrick Lichfield, British Royal Family Photographer (1939–2005)

Thanks for posting this up. Good to remind ourselves once in awhile. I like #7 alot!

I know of someone who owns a slr camera and “attempt to be a photographer” but sadly lack the heart and passion for it. You can see the difference in someone who’s has a heart and passion versus someone who does not have it.

Great quotes! …I love all of Ansel Adams. This is one of my favorites that I don’t think has been mentioned…

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