來自一個攝影初學者的分享，每一個攝影愛好者都應該好好的參悟
1. 你拍的前一萬張照片都是爛的
“Your first 10000 photographs are your worst.“ - Henri-Cartier-Bresson
2. 如果你的照片不夠好，表示你離得不夠近
“if your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough.” - Robert Capa
3. 攝影機最重要的元件是在它後方十二寸的那玩意兒
“The single most important component of a camera is the twelve inches behind it.” - Ansel Adams
4. 如果我透過觀景窗看到某個我覺得熟悉的東西，我會試著去用不同的觀點重新看一遍
“If I saw something in my viewfinder that looked familiar to me, I would do something to shake it up.” -Gary Winogrand
5. 最好的相機就是你需要時在你身邊的那臺
“The best camera is the one that is with you” -Chase Jarvis
6. 最好的相機是你忘在家裡的那臺
“The best camera is the one that you left at home.” -Zack Arias' old stupid manager
7. 每個人都有機會拍出一張很棒的作品，我比較厲害是因為我拍出兩張
“Everyone will take one great picture, I've done better because I've taken two.” -David Bailey
8. 當你的想像力無法集中時不能依賴你的眼睛
“You cannot depend on your eyes if your imagination is out of focus” -Mark Twain
9. 一張好的照片是知道該在哪裡等待
“A good photograph is knowing where to stand” -Ansel Adams
10. 真正的攝影作品不需要言語去說明，而且它也無法用言語說明
“A true photograph need not be explained nor can it be contained in words” -Ansel Adams
11. 對我來說最難的是肖像攝影。你必須要將攝影機放在一個人的皮膚與他的衣服之間
“The most difficult thing for me is a portrait. You have to try and put your camera between the skin of a person and his shirt” -Henri-Cateir-Bresson
12. 在攝影之前以及之後思考，千萬不要在攝影當下思考。街頭攝影的秘密在於放慢步調。速度不該太快。你拍攝的主題必須要看不見你。而你的速度必須要很快
“Think about the photo before and after, never during. The secret is to take your time. You mustn't go too fast. The subject must forget about you. Then, how ever, you must be very quick.” -Henri- Cateir-Bresson
13. 如果你在看照片的時候能聞到街頭攝味道，那就是街頭攝影
“If you can smell the street by looking at the photo, it's a street photograph” -Bruce Gilden
14. 所有照片都是種宣傳
“All photography is propaganda” -Martin Parr
15. 我終於瞭解了攝影，現在我可以把自己殺了，因為已經沒什麼好學的了
“I have discovered photography. Now I can kill myself. I have nothing else to learn.” -Picasso
16. 如果你能保持冷靜，那你將能得到一切
“If you keep your cool, you'll get everything” -Elliott Erwitt
17. 好的照片在於情感的深度，而非景深
“Great photograph is about depth of feeling, not depth of field” -Peter Adams
18. 很多時候最簡單的照片反而是最難拍的
“Sometimes the simplest picture are the hardest to get” -Neil Leifer
19. 你問我最喜歡自己的哪一張照片？我明天要拍的那一張
“Which of my photographs is my favorite? The one I'm going to take tomorrow.” -Imogen Cunnigham
20. 攝影跟你看到什麼事物沒有太大的關係，而是你怎麼去觀看
“It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see.” -Henry David Thoreau
21. 我的生命是以想不斷到處逛逛看看的急迫感所形成，而相機就是我的護照
“My life is shaped by the urgent need to wander and observe, and my camera is my passport.” -Steve McCurry
22. 我不斷追逐著光，光能將平凡的東西化為神奇
“I am forever chasing light. Light turns the ordinary into the magical” -Trent Parke
23. 我的相機就跟我的牙刷一樣，它作它該作的事，就是拍照
“I only use a camera like I use a toothbrush. It does the job.” -Don McCullin
24. 別把相機收起來，除非你要離開拍攝現場
“Don't pack up your camera until You've left the location” -Joe McNally
25. 我是個觀光客
“I'm a Tourist” -Gary Winogrand
