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

The photograph extends and multiplies the human image to the proportions of mass-produced merchandise. The movie stars and matinee idols are put in the public domain by photography. They become dreams that money can buy.
Marshall McLuhan, Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man (1964), p. 257
Photography
In photography everything is so ordinary; it takes a lot of looking before you learn to see the ordinary.
David Bailey in interview in The Face December 1984
