Nikon Quotes : pic 000842900
The lens is a tyranny.
Nikon Quotes : pic 000848300
When I began to photograph nudes, I let myself be guided by this camera, and instead of photographing what I saw, I photographed what the camera was seeing. I interfered very little, and the lens produced anatomical images and shapes which my eyes had never observed.
Nikon Quotes : pic 001188674
I travel, I read, I write, I have other lives. But when I have a camera, I know that's my country, my island.
Nikon Quotes : pic 000875421
I don't really have a favorite camera. I use a Leica and Canon a lot. It depends, especially professionally, on the requirements. But my carry-around camera is a Leica.
Nikon Quotes : pic 000845097
A camera is wild in just about anybody's hands, therefore one must set limits. But cameras have a life of their own. Cameras care nothing about cults or isms. They are indifferent mechanical eyes, ready to devour anything in sight. They are lenses of the unlimited reproduction.

I just got this new camera. It's very advanced - you don't even need it.
Nikon Quotes : pic 001624329
All too frequently the amateur will purchase a fine modern camera and proceed to use it for making the most elementary simple snapshots. This surely is like playing 'Chopsticks' on a concert grand piano.
Nikon Quotes : pic 000829919
Cameras are simple tools designed to capture images. Images that tell us more about ourselves than we realize. They remind us of the long journey we've taken. The loved ones who traveled alongside of us. Those we lost along the way. And those waiting for us on the road ahead.

My camera is my friend, and I take it everywhere.
Nikon Quotes : pic 001200288

Holy shit! Where's a cell phone camera when you need one?
Nikon Quotes : pic 000317394

Nikon Quotes : pic 001334133
Photography appears to be an easy activity; in fact it is a varied and ambiguous process in which the only common denominator among its practitioners is in the instrument.

[A Polaroid camera] places before you a thing that is more of the thing than the thing was.

Nikon Quotes : pic 000077930

The only thing that gets in the way of a really good photograph, is the camera
Nikon Quotes : pic 000735015

I'm not saying I was scared. Okay, I was scared. He had an MP5. I had a Nikon.

If a day goes by without my doing something related to photography, it's as though I've neglected something essential to my existence, as though I had forgotten to wake up.

Nikon Quotes : pic 000204971
When you see such photos, you can't help but wonder at just how sweet and sad and innocent all moments of life are rendered by the tripping of a camera's shutter, for at that point the future is still unknown and has yet to hurt us, and also for that brief moment, our poses are accepted as honest.
Nikon Quotes : pic 000797028
It ain't the picture and it ain't the camera - it's the operator.
Nikon Quotes : pic 000157767
Speed, the fundamental condition of the activities of our day is the power of photography, indeed the modern art of today, the art of the split second.

I like to work my camera as if it were a musical instrument.
Nikon Quotes : pic 000087858

People spot a big black lens, and they worry about what they're doing, or how their hair looks. Nobody see the person holding the camera.

Nikon Quotes : pic 000968845
Always put your cap on your lens, because you never know which idiot will bump into your camera. And eventually that idiot will be you.
Nikon Quotes : pic 001377832
Cameras don't take pictures, people take pictures.
Nikon Quotes : pic 000971509
The Balopticon [a machine that projects photos on canvas to trace the lines] is an evil, inartistic, habit-forming, lazy and vicious machine! It also is a useful, time-saving, practical and helpful one. I use one often-and am thoroughly ashamed of it. I hide it whenever I hear people coming.
Nikon Quotes : pic 000844633
Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still.
