Some of my favourite photography quotes -

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

A photograph is usually looked at - seldom looked into. ~Ansel Adams

There are always two people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer. ~Ansel Adams

I think a photography class should be a requirement in all educational programs because it makes you see the world rather than just look at it. ~Author Unknown

No photographer is as good as the simplest camera. ~Edward Steichen

The goal is not to change your subjects, but for the subject to change the photographer. ~Author Unknown

Buying a Nikon doesn't make you a photographer. It makes you a Nikon owner. ~Author Unknown

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine

All photographs are there to remind us of what we forget. In this - as in other ways - they are the opposite of paintings. Paintings record what the painter remembers. Because each one of us forgets different things, a photo more than a painting may change its meaning according to who is looking at it. ~John Berger

Photograph: a picture painted by the sun without instruction in art. ~Ambrose Bierce

You don't take a photograph. You ask, quietly, to borrow it. ~Author Unknown

It's been ages since we've had any quotes, but I came across one today that I think if very appropriate to POE.

"A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul."

                                                            Johann Wolfgang von Goethe  

Not sure if I posted this one but this is one of my favorites:

 "No man needs a vacation so much as the man who has just had one" - Elbert Hubbard

Abslutely brilliant and very meaningful quotes Thanks

"Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time;

it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable."

Don't prejudge on hearsay or someone else's opinion. 

I have had to learn that other's opinions are not necessarily going to be the same as mine.

Give me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,

The courage to change the things I can,

And the wisdom to know the difference.

        Not always easy!
