- "A photograph never grows old. You and I change, people change all through the months and years, but a photograph always remains the same. How nice to look at a photograph of mother or father taken many years ago! You see them as you remember them. But, as people live on, they change completely. That is why I think a photograph can be kind", Albert Einstein.
- "You have to be able to observe life as if you were a camera all the time, constantly looking at light and the way that things are placed and the way people hold themselves. You need the ability to see something in someone or something that no one else really sees and be able to bring that to light. Basically, you have to be an obsessive crazy person", Ryan McGinley.
- "I like the idea of the photograph as something that joins me to the world, that connects me to others, that I can share. I can get in touch with somebody when they recognize a feeling. 'Oh, I felt like that before. I remember jeans hanging on the banister, even though I've never seen that exact pair'. 'I've seen my oranges on a windowsill'. It's the sense that I'm not alone, that's the driving force behind sharing these things, that I want to find connections in people. I believe that every thought and idea has to be somehow rendered through personal experience, and then generalized", Wolfgang Tillmans.
- "Robert Frank, suizo, discreto, amable, con esa pequeña cámara, que levanta y dispara con una mano, se tragó un triste poema desde la misma América y lo pasó a fotografía, haciéndose un sitio entre los grandes poetas trágicos del mundo. A Robert Frank ahora le doy un mensaje: tienes ojos", Jack Kerouac.
