When gifts are given to me through my camera, I accept them graciously.

There's no particular class of photograph that I think is any better than any other class. I'm always and forever looking for the image that has spirit! I don't give a damn how it got made.

Minor White 46 quotes

When you approach something to...

When you approach something to photograph it, first be still with yourself until the object of your attention affirms your presence. Then don't leave until you have captured its essence.

Minor White 46 quotes

Sometimes we work so fast that...

Sometimes we work so fast that we don't really understand what's going on in front of the camera. We just kind of sense that, 'Oh my God, it's significant!' and photograph impulsively while trying to get the exposure right. Exposure occupies my mind while intuition frames the images.

Some of the young photographers today enter photography where I leave off. My 'grandchildren' astound me. What I worked for they seem to be born with. So I wonder where Their affirmations of Spirit will lead. My wish for them is that their unfolding proceeds to fullness of Spirit, however astonishing or anguished their lives.

Minor White 46 quotes

Different levels of photograph...

Different levels of photography require different levels of understanding and skill. A 'press the button, let George do the rest' photographer needs little or no technical knowledge of photography. A zone system photographer takes more responsibility. He visualizes before he presses the button, and afterwards calibrates for predictable print values.

Minor White 46 quotes

When I look at pictures I have...

When I look at pictures I have made, I have forgotten what I saw in front of the camera and respond only to what I am seeing in the photographs.

Minor White 46 quotes

If I have anything to give you...

If I have anything to give you through camera, it must be of myself. A gnawing burns inside to make something of myself worth giving.

Minor White 46 quotes

The reason why we want to reme...

The reason why we want to remember an image varies: because we simply 'love it,' or dislike it so intensely that it becomes compulsive, or because it has made us realize something about ourselves, or has brought about some slight change in us. Perhaps the reader can recall some image, after the seeing of which he has never been quite the same.

Camera and eye are together a time machine with which the mind and human being can do the same kind of violence to time and space as dreams.
