In photography everything is so ordinary; it takes a lot of looking before you learn to see the ordinary.

Photography
You put your camera around your neck in the morning, along with putting on your shoes, and there it is, an appendage of the body that shares your life with you. The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.
Dorothea Lange, as quoted in Dorothea Lange : A Photographer's Life (1978), p. vii
Photography
Photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event as well as of a precise organisation of forms which give that event its proper expression.
Henri Cartier-Bresson as cited in: Bruce Elder (1989) Image and identity: reflections on Canadian film and culture. p. 114
