Photography

A cornucopia of loosely categorised images - there are hundreds here to explore. Set your curiosity free...

 

"You don't take a photograph, you make it."

Ansel Adams

"To be photographer, one must photograph. No amount of book learning, no checklist of seminars attended, can substitute for the simple act of making pictures. Experience is the best teacher of all. And for that there is no guarantee that one will become an artist. Only the journey matters".

Harry Callahan

"All photographs are monuments. If you photograph this cup on the table, for example, it gives it importance. And over time, photographs become more and more like monuments."

Guido Guidi

"The two biggest mistakes in photography are pointing the camera in the wrong direction and pressing the button at the wrong time - that's my advice for the year."

Phil Kneen

"Photography, as far as I'm concerned, is a bit like a car boot sale: you're searching for something, but you don't know what exactly."

Richard Davis 

 

She just loves the cups. The style fits in with her aspirations. And the tones, and the reflections....

Rosamund's teacups

Rosamund Macfarlane was an inspiration to me, and very encouraging to me early on in my photographic journey. She liked this picture, and the respect that I had for her work was instrumental in developing my skills. Thanks Rosamund!
