6.You need to learn to see and compose. The more time you waste worrying about your equipment the less time you'll have to put into creating great images. Worry about your images, not your equipment........Ken Rockwell

7.“Photography, as we all know, is not real at all. It is an illusion of reality with which we create our own private world.”......Arnold Newman

8.“There are no rules and regulations for perfect composition. If there were we would be able to put all the information into a computer and would come out with a masterpiece. We know that's impossible. You have to compose by the seat of your pants.”.......Arnold Newman

9.“Think photographs should be provocative and not tell you what you already know. It takes no great powers or magic to reproduce somebody's face in a photograph. The magic is in seeing people in new ways.”..........Duane Michals

10.“How foolish of me to believe that it would be that easy. I had confused the appearance of trees and automobiles, and people with a reality itself, and believed that a photograph of these appearances to be a photograph of it. It is a melancholy truth that I will never be able to photograph it and can only fail. I am a reflection photographing other reflections within a reflection. To photograph reality is to photograph nothing.”....Duane Michals

11."I have been frequently accused of deliberately twisting subject matter to my point of view. Above all, I know that life for a photographer cannot be a matter of indifference. Opinion often consists of a kind of criticism. But criticism can come out of love. It is important to see what is invisible to others. Perhaps the look of hope or the look of sadness. Also, it is always the instantaneous reaction to oneself that produces a photograph."................Robert Frank

12."I do not photograph nature. I photograph my visions."...............Man Ray

13."I paint what cannot be photographed, that which comes from the imagination or from dreams, or from an unconscious drive. I photograph the things that I do not wish to paint, the things which already have an existence."................Man Ray

14."Everything is a subject. Every subject has a rhythm. To feel it is the raison d‘être(the reason or justification for existing.). The photograph is a fixed moment of such a raison d‘être, which lives on in itself."......................André Kertész

嘻嘻好巧啊，一上来就是我很喜欢的王尔德啊！！刚好在看的书上前几页在说，“王尔德在他的文章中反对批评中的客观性，赞同情感表达。他观察到，批评家所要求的‘是某种性格，是一种能被物体深深出动的能力。”真是太巧了，我刚看完这段话，然后打开这个论坛即看到了吴老师引用的这句关于potrait的同是王尔德的意见。巧啊！留个言。看来他无论是对创作还是对批评还都是要求见性见情的啊。看来果真是对19世纪官方艺术批评重视社会历史背景这一潮流的反叛。

1. Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter.....Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900)

投注感情畫成的肖像就是那一位畫（藝術）家的自畫像，而非被繪者的畫像。(奧斯卡．王爾德 / 1854 - 1900)

4.The camera's only job is to get out of the way of making photographs......Ken Rockwell

相機唯一應該做的事，就是從照片的製作過程中消失。(肯．洛克威爾)

我們都知道，攝影一點也不「真」實。它只是我們用來創造專屬於我們自己的私密世界的一種真實的假象而已。

照片應當要能激發思考，而非告訴你已知的事。複製某人的臉於相片上，無須擁有強大的力量或魔法才辦得到。真正的魔法是用新的方式去觀看人。(杜安．麥可斯)

我經常被指控故意扭曲事物的主體以迎合我的觀點。最重要的是，我瞭解對攝影家而言生命是件不容輕忽的事。雖然評論中總少不了批評，但是，批評的出發點可以是愛。見人所未見是重要的，不管看見的是希望，還是悲傷。此外，照片的產生永遠是人們瞬間的反應。(羅伯．法蘭克)
