“Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still.”

Dorothea Lange(American documentary photographer, 1895-1965)

“To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.”

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