1. Brassaï (1899 - 1984) ‘We should try, without creasing to tear ourselves constantly by leaving our subjects and even photography itself from time to time, in order that we may come back to them with reawakened zest, with the virginal eye. That is the most precious thing we can possess.’
  2. Paul Strand (1890-1976) ‘Look at the things around you, the immediate world around you. If you are alive, it will mean something to you, and if you care enough about photography, and if you know how to use it, you will want to photograph that meaningness. If you let other people’s vision get between the world and your own, you will achieve that extremely common and worthless thing, a pictorial photograph.’
  3. Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908-2004) The photograph itself doesn’t interest me. I want only to capture a minute part of reality.
  4. Lewis Hine (1874-1940) Photography can light-up darkness and expose ignorance.
  5. Eugene Smith (1918-1978) I would that my photographs might be, not the coverage of a news event, but an indictment of war - the brutal corupting viciousness of its doing to the minds and bodies of men: and, that my photographs might be a powerful emotional catalust to the reasoning would help this vile and criminal stupidity from beginning again.
  6. Diane Arbus (1923-1971) My favourite thing is to go where I’ve never been.
  7. “Allice Liddell” Lewis Carroll (1832-1898)
  8.  ”Spleeping, homeless children”, New York Jacob Riis (1849-1914)
  9. Richard Avedon (1923-2004)
  10. Berenice Abbott (1898-1991), New York
