"I
am surprised that there are still discussions going on concerning the
superior quality of film, because those people who so argue usually do not understand what digital
photography is, or have not even used digital media."
***
"Those critics that dismiss digital photography, barely knew about photography before, and do so even less today."
***
"Digital
technology is to analog photography what a life guard is to someone drowning."
***
"Children
are very wise, they appreciate the advantages
of instant feedback in their creative process, that is
why they dismiss cameras that use film."
***
"Writing (or drawing) with light", has ceased to be a metaphor for the first time in history."
***
"It's very gratifying to take pictures without having
to spend money for each shot."
***
"Film based cameras are like a
mortgage, with payments for the rest of your days as a photographer."
***
"Digital technology has kept me from continuing to pollute rivers
with the chemicals I used in the dark room."
***
"Color entered my life like springtime, thanks
to digital technology."
***
"Still
photography stopped being like a silent movie."
***
"My work reverses the cinematic notion
of moving pictures since it redefines itself as "still
cinema", a process that, like memory, distills multiple
visual impressions into a single paradigmatic image."
***
"The
computer screen is amongst other things also a space that functions as a
stage, I am the director, I move the lights, the
actors and decide where all things go. This
is also how I can create pictures today."
***
"I was not able to take pictures of my dreams before."
***
"The
photographer is, at the end of the day, a storyteller."
***
"Not
all blind people see the same things."
***
"The aura of "the real" in photography is a fiction,
therefore it is ironic to try to uphold such a notion
by attacking digital photography arguing that it is
a fiction."
***
"The
decisive moment has been
evolving, so that today it is so much more
than just an instant."
***
"We should acknowledge that the idea of a "photographic
truth" was a great exaggeration."
***
"We used to have color in
Ecktachrome, Kodachrome, Agfachrome, Fujicolor, etc.
and, then they tell me that photography was a truthful representation of reality?"
***
"Photography is useless to tell stories that are specific."
***
"There
are more telephones that can take pictures than all combined analog or digital cameras."
***
"The number of photographs published on the web is
greater than the total number of photos published in all
printed media."
***
"The
chromatic quality of a photo displayed in a
computer screen is superior to any kind of photo
printed on paper."
***
"Photography
was always a witness of it's own veracity.
Something that in legal terms is untennable. No one can be a witness to itsel."
***
"Who
would have thought that my photographic camera
would also record sound or that a video camera could
make still photos or that the telephone could do both,
video and stills."
***
"Film
has disappeared as quickly as vinyl records or the VHS format."
***
"My entire photographic archive has taken on a new life, not only
with all the images that I have been able to rescue from damage, but
also by correcting exposure, color or definition defects
that either occurred originally or are due to the
passing of time."
***
"It
is less violent to eliminate someone from a photograph than in
real life."
