'The camera sees more than the eye' - oh how true and what a delight it is to discover that extra vision. Taking photos has trained my observation skills. I now see beauty everywhere - yes everywhere!
i believe in another good one " photography is like painting with light".
Great hub, Didn't get through all the quotes, but will bookmark and definitely return! Lately, I have renewed my passion for photography and all these quotes inspire me! Nice to meet you MJoyce from Australia!!
A great photograph is a full expression of what one feels about what is being photographed in the deepest sense and is, thereby, a true expression of what one feels about life in its entirety.
This may have a truth in it. Can you write some more?
I also agree with abhinav misra "photography is like painting with light."

"from my heart and see trought from eye so click by my hand to make a picture": mymjo
Brilliant collection and food for thought indeed.
good collection of photography quotes! to take a photograph is to freeze a moment in time in the perspective of the photographer
Wow .."When you photograph a face . . .you photograph the soul behind it..." I liked it. but you can't keep the photographer out of this photograph as he is the person who sketches that unseen soul... so he is also behind it..
