Dorothea Lange (May 26, 1895 – October 11, 1965)

One should really use the camera as though tomorrow you’d be stricken blind. To live a visual life is an enormous undertaking, practically unattainable. I have only touched it, just touched it.

Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still.

Pick a theme and work it to exhaustion…the subject must be something you truly love or truly hate.

The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.

While there is perhaps a province in which the photograph can tell us nothing more than what we see with our own eyes, there is another in which it proves to us how little our eyes permit us to see.
