“You know there are moments such as these when time stands still and all you do is hold your breath and hope it will wait for you.”

Photography is a lot like telling a large predatory cat what to do-while an audience of people you can’t see watches you.

No country has ever closely scrutinized itself visually.

It is no accident that the photographer becomes a photographer any more than the lion tamer becomes a lion tamer.

Bring the viewer to your side, include him in your thought. He is not a bystander.

To me, beauty appears when one feels deeply, and art is an act of total attention.

Photography today appears to be in a state of flight… The familiar is made strange, the unfamiliar grotesque. The amateur forces his Sundays into a series of unnatural poses.

Pick a theme and work it to exhaustion… the subject must be something you truly love or truly hate.

One should really use the camera as though tomorrow you’d be stricken blind.

Life, for people, begins to crumble on the edges; they don’t realize it.

You go into a room and you know where you’re welcome; you know where you’re unwelcome.

The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.

The words that come direct from the people are the greatest.If you substitute one out of your own vocabulary, it disappears before your eyes.

I realize more and more what it takes to be a really good photographer. You go in over your head, not just up to your neck.

go in over your head, not just up to your neck.

Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still.

Before you begin, sit for a moment and take a couple of deep breaths. You want to be calm and prepared to maintain mental focus

December will spark the wisdom and knowledge in her breaths so she becomes a new woman in her real form.

The moon can never breathe, but it can take our breath away with the beauty of its cold, arid orb.

I wish to spend a lifetime near a lighthouse where loneliness will be the glimmer of luminous prancing upon ocean waves… rising and falling only for my breathing.

When I used to be on stage, I used to be out of breath; I couldn’t walk that far. Now, I got so much energy. I can do a whole show.

There is nothing prettier in the whole wide world than a girl in love with every breath she takes.

It pains to be insulted every time you breathe when I am your oxygen but you have to wish to breathe.

Did you ever take a deep breath and appreciated the people, things and memories that stayed in your life
