To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.
An artist is like a pig snouting truffles.
Anyone who looks for life can find it... and they don't need to photograph ashcans. The average camera fan reminds me of Pollyanna, with a lollypop in one hand and a camera in the other. You can't be a Nice Nelly and take news pictures.
Seek beauty and miss love. But seek love and find both.
You'll never find rainbows, If you're looking down...
I am learning to live, and to see beauty in everything.
Wherever your joy is, go after it, ... pretty ladies.
The camera is my tool. Through it I give a reason to everything around me.
I leave these speculations to others. It’s quite possible that my work represents a search for beauty in the most prosaic and ordinary places. One doesn’t have to be in some faraway dreamland in order to find beauty.
Finding beauty in a broken world is creating beauty in the world we find.
But there is much beauty here, because there is much beauty everywhere.
There's always beauty, if you know where to look.
One thing that's certain: around the corner from every ugly thing, there's something really beautiful. If we stop at every bitter interaction; we'll never reach our destination.
Find things beautiful as much as you can, most people find too little beautiful.
That's important to me, to find the extraordinary inside the ordinary.
We don't ever want to shut down and say, I'm afraid to go that far down the road because there's going to be pain. There'll be beauty, too, and if you stop here, you stop all that.
The point is that something I thought was perfect has been broken, and I'm having to find the beauty in what is there instead of what I thought was there. Like this shell. I can either spend all my time wishing it were perfect, trying to imagine it the way it was or might have been, or I can see how beautiful it is just like this.
Beauty is where you find it.
That's how we find our way outward and onward. By holding onto beauty hardest. By cradling it like the cure that it is. By making it realer than anything ever was. The rest is just monsters and ghosts.
Beauty in all things-no, we cannot hope for that; but some place set apart for it.
You were given life; it is your duty (and also your entitlement as a human being) to find something beautiful within life, no matter how slight.
The challenges in this place are real and sometimes very difficult, but I've learned to slow down and look for beauty in my days, for the mysteries and blessings woven into everything, into the very words we speak.
It's the hardest thing in the world to take the mundane and try to show how special it is.
Beauty, you can find it here if you look hard enough.
In the most commonplace, tiresome, ridiculous, malicious, coarse, crude, or even crooked people or events I had to seek out rare things, good things, comic things, and I did so.
