Photographer: Mark Power

"Now that everyone in the developed world seems to own some form of camera, a different space has opened for documentary photographers. It's a space free from specific events, where there are different expectations, where it is first and foremost about ideas. Now we can all take pictures, with varying degrees of consistency, more than ever before it's about what we do with photography." Mark Power

Could You Survive Two Years Without A Paycheck?
"Don’t spend time comparing yourself to other photographers who might be more successful than you. So what? They aren’t part of your equation. You just have to put in the time, be patient, develop a strategy to survive the lean years, and move on. At the end of the tunnel, there is a light…" [Scott Bourne]
Photographer: Henri Cartier-Bresson
Sometimes looking for something original to photograph prevents us from photographing altogether. The following is a excerpt from the book, "The Mind's Eye" by HCB (1976)...
"...as far as I am concerned, taking photographs is a means of understanding which can not be separated from other means of visual expression. It is a way of shouting, of freeing oneself, not of proving or asserting one's originality. It is a way of life".
Photographer: Jane Bown - "Henri Cartier-Bresson"
I am still exploring the work of photographer Jane Bown. This photograph is of another inspirational photographer, Henri Cartier-Bresson.
The following are quotes from the book "Unknown Bown".
"Some people take pictures. I find them"
"I love train stations and airports, places with lots of people where I can blend into the crowd and work unobserved"
"I was obsessed with textures and patterns—hair, cloth the grain of a piece of timber, the print of a fabric"
"I'm a one-shot photographer, I work quickly and hate fuss, always have done"
"I honestly think that all my best shots were taken on holiday"
"Sometimes I can see the picture immediately and then the first exposure is often the jackpot one"
"For that moment when I look through the lens, when absolutely everything is exactly right, love is the only way to describe what I feel"
"I can't really feel the excitement I felt when I looked down into that viewfinder, twisted the knob and everything came into focus"
"These pictures are the real me"
Inspirational Quote: Elliott Erwitt
“After following the crowd for a while, I'd then go 180 degrees in the exact opposite direction. It always worked for me.” Elliott Erwitt
David Bailey
"if you make your mark early on, you're fucking lumbered with it. I bet fucking Michelangelo said: 'not another fucking ceiling'."
Photographer: Robert Capa
