Let's hear your favourite film quotes!
« on: October 14, 2012, 09:53:44 PM »
Inspired by that collodion in a polaroid camera I started looking up those, non rangefinder, polaroid EE cameras.

On this page http://www.parahanga.com/2009/10/ee100-special-polaroid-camera-review.html I found this wonderful paragraph:

Quote
Like any Polaroid camera, you might waste a few films getting a few shots right. This is the badge we wear as Polaroid photographers. Smokers have there cigarettes, we have our film. They are both cause severe addictions and are expensive habits. However, cigarettes are bad, full stop. Polaroid film can take you both to the depths of despair to the heights of ecstasy. Polaroid Film is much more rewarding addiction.

Anyone else here got a funny/inspiring quote they like?

For me, it's Bill Claxton who said
Quote
I feel like photography is jazz for the eye.

Film is the vinyl record of photography.

“A good photograph is one that communicates a fact, touches the heart and leaves the viewer a changed person for having seen it. It is, in a word, effective." – Irving Penn
"An ounce of perception. A pound of obscure".
