Become A GOOD photographer

- A good photographer is known in bad weather.
- The best camera is that behind which the best photographer sits.
- He who makes an abstract photo today may not be a photographer tomorrow.
- A good photographer measures like an engineer, thinks like a philosopher and sees the world like a poet.
- The good light is known after the developing process.
- Estimate the amount of grey in the photo, but beware of grayness in thoughts.
- The best photos are those, which you have not taken yet.
- He who thinks the objective can be truly objective is mistaking.
- The camera is a sort of chameleon; it changes according to the user's personality.
- Photography and sincerity work together hand in hand.
- Photography is somewhere on the way that leads from the crossing of art and techniques.
- Through photography one does not tell; one shows.
- If you are skilled, even the dust on the lens can be of assistance.
- Imitate the "masters" until you become one yourself...if you do...
- Remember that what you photograph not only "is" something, but "means" something too.
- First learn what a flower is, then photograph it.
- Don't leave the camera idle for too long. It is bad for you both.
- The modern camera does not necessarily take only modern photos.
- Give up portraying if you do not bother knowing people.
- To many photographers are more concerned with adjusting the clarity of the picture than that of the ideas.
- Don't trade the camera you have in your hand for the one you see in a commercial.
- Don't judge the photographer by his camera, but by his photos.
- You become a good photographer if you know what happens when you act like a bad one.
- The trigger-button is small, but it did bring down many great illusions.
- It is good to be more sensitive then the film you are using.
- A good photographer discovers subjects even through the thickest fog.
- The automatic cameras cannot make exactly what we want, they're just technicians, not artists.
- Keep up with technology...and with life too.
