Life is once. Forever.

Of course it's all luck.

Human faces are such a world!

Henri Cartier-Bresson Photographer

Sharpness is a bourgeois concept

Henri Cartier-Bresson Photographer

I have received the digital camera as a blessing. It has really changed my life as a filmmaker, because I don't use my camera anymore as a camera. I don't feel it as a camera. I feel it as a friend, as something that doesn't make an impression on people, that doesn't make them feel uncomfortable, and that is completely forgotten in my way of approaching life and people and film.

Abbas Kiarostami Film Director

I'm always aware of the camera and it feels like that's the audience.

Alan Rickman Actor

I've worked with actors who treat the first two takes like rehearsals. And that's okay. If the camera is on you and we're doing a scene where I'm off camera, I'm treating that as a rehearsal.

Alfred Molina Actor

With reality TV, sometimes it's amazing chemistry and you get these gems that turn out to be everything you hoped, and the camera loves them and they just blossom on the show. And then sometimes it's not all you envision.

Alison Sweeney Actress

My talent lies in the fact that I cannot touch a camera without expressing myself.

Andre Kertesz Photographer

Realism and superrealism are what I'm after. This world is full of things the eye doesn't see. The camera can see more, and often 10 times better.

Andreas Feininger Photographer
