Quotes: W. Eugene Smith
"Photography is a small voice. at best. but sometimes one photograph. or a group of them, can lure our senses into awareness.... Someone, or perhaps many, among us may be influenced to heed reason, to find a way to right what was wrong."
" Each time I pressed the shutter release, it was a shouted condemnation hurled with the hope that the pictures might survive through the years, with the hope that they might echo through the minds of men in the future. causing them caution and remembrance and realization."
"I have never made any picture, good or bad, without paying for it in emotional turmoil."
"I can never photograph without love,...I create only when I have the spirit and spirituality of life that love gives me"

Quote: James Nachtwey Photojournalist
Why do you shoot what you shoot?
"I think the raising of people's consciousness is the first step toward creating public opinion and public opinion creates an impetus for change. It creates pressure on decision-makers, the powers that be, who make choices that effect the lives of thousands of people. Helping create the impetus for them to move in the right direction, through public opinion, is something worth doing."

Excited
Been involved with photography for over 30 years now but the excitement continues to grow. Tonight I am working in the darkroom developing film and printing, my head full of photographs I want to make in the future, full of ideas. Photography is so exciting, so rewarding, fills me with so much purpose. There is nothing I would rather do with my life.
