Photographers speak...

In music I still prefer the minor key, and in printing I like the light coming from the dark. I like pictures that surmount the darkness, and many of my photographs are that way. It is the way I see photographically. For practical reasons, I think it looks better in print too. W. Eugene Smith

Many claim I am a photographer of tragedy. In the greater sense I am not, for though I often photograph where the tragic emotion is present, the result is almost invariably affirmative. W. Eugene Smith

Never have I found the limits of the photographic potential. Every horizon, upon being reached, reveals another beckoning in the distance. Always, I am on the threshold. W. Eugene Smith

Available light is any damn light that is available! W. Eugene Smith

Hardening of the categories causes art disease. W. Eugene Smith

What use is having a great depth of field, if there is not an adequate depth of feeling? W. Eugene Smith
