Quote of the Day by Ansel Adams

"No man has the right to dictate what other men should perceive, create or produce, but all should be encouraged to reveal themselves, their perceptions and emotions, and to build confidence in the creative spirit." Ansel Adams

Robert Capa

Voltando aos posts de quotes de fotógrafos que admiro.
Não podia deixar ele de lado.
Robert Capa. É dele a frase: "If your pictures aren't good enough, you aren't close enough".
Uma das fotos mais famosas dele (na real acredito que seja A MAIS famosa) é essa do soldado sendo atingido. Timing é algo incrível.
Tive a sorte de ver uma exposição dele quando eu tive em Helsinki em março/maio de 2000.

Ansel Adams

"A photograph is usually looked at - seldom looked into. " - Ansel Adams
Engraçado que exatamente o mesmo acontece com as pessoas... hehehe

Henri Cartier-Bresson

Eu ABSOLUTAMENTE amo essa frase dele:

“To take photographs is to hold one’s breath when all faculties converge in the face of fleeing reality. ... It is putting one’s head, one’s eyes and one’s heart on the same axis. ... It is a way of shouting, of freeing oneself, not of proving or asserting one’s originality. It is a way of life.”
Henri Cartier-Bresson

Vejam os documentários:
* "Henri Cartier-Bresson - Le Tour"
* "Henri Cartier-Bresson - Just Plain Love"
(aviso aos sensíveis e apaixonados por FOTOGRAFIA DE VERDADE, uma caixinha de kleenex vai bem).

Richard Avedon

"Richard Avedon Quotes"
"If a day goes by without my doing something related to photography, it's as though I've neglected something essential to my existence, as though I had forgotten to wake up."

"A portrait photographer depends upon another person to complete his picture. The subject imagined, which in a sense is me, must be discovered in someone else willing to take part in a fiction he cannot possibly know about."

"A portrait is not a likeness. The moment an emotion or fact is transformed into a photograph it is no longer a fact but an opinion. There is no such thing as inaccuracy in a photograph. All photographs are accurate. None of them is the truth."

Por essas e por outras, sou muito fã!!!!
