“I like the world of black and white photography, in it, the presence of the subject is stronger, and black and white photography requires more imagination because the real world is in color.”
- Tatsuo Suzuki
“Most of my pictures are compassionate, gentle and personal. They tend to let the viewer see for himself. They tend not to preach. And they tend not to pose as art.”
- Bruce Davidson
“If your photographs aren't good enough, you're not close enough.”
- Robert Capa
“I picked up a camera because it was my choice of weapons against what I hated most about the universe: racism, intolerance, poverty. I could have just as easily picked up a knife or a gun, like many of my childhood friends did... most of whom were murdered or put in prison... but I chose not to go that way. I felt that I could somehow subdue these evils by doing something beautiful that people recognize me by, and thus make a whole different life for myself, which has proved to be so.”
