Photography - An Art of Observation

ne of my favorite quotes pertaining to photography is by the great Elliot Erwitt and it goes like this..... "To me photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place. It has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them." I like this quote for two reasons... 1. It challenges me to stay true to who I am and to constantly and consistently try to document things according to my vision and not the vision of others. 2. It also challenges me to slow down and look for all the extraordinary things in ordinary places.

What about you, do you have a favorite quote? I would love to hear it!
