"The thing that's important to know is that you never know. You're always sort of feeling your way. One thing that struck me very early is that you don't put into a photograph what's going to come out. Or, vice versa, what comes out is not what you put in. I never have taken a picture I've intended. They're always better or worse."
(Diane Arbus)

"At this point, the subjective feelings of the photographer must come into the photograph. Otherwise, we would only have an indiscriminate of reality. After all, it is the photographer who gives life and excitement to a photograph. ... The photograph should give us an new depth and awareness of life around us. In other words, the composition, the basic structure that is the skeleton of the photograph, should not be imposed in our picture content, but should evolve out of reality and our subjective feeling about it"
Louis Stettner (American Photographer)
