Sam Abell - From the Belief category:
Actually, ambition won't get you that far. You'll shift gears. You'll see something that's shinier. But if you believe... then you're the long-distance runner. (Sam Abell)
Sam Abell - From the Failure category:
Above all, it's hard learning to live with vivid mental images of scenes I cared for and failed to photograph. It is the edgy existence within me of these unmade images that is the only assurance that the best photographs are yet to be made. (Sam Abell)
Sam Abell - From the Hope category:
Whether working or not, photographers are looking, seeing, and thinking about what they see, a habit that is both a pleasure and a problem, for we seldom capture in a single photograph the full expression of what we see and feel. It is the hope that we might express ourselves fully - and the evidence that other photographers have done so - that keep us taking pictures. (Sam Abell)
Sam Abell - From the Instinct category:
My best work is often almost unconscious and occurs ahead of my ability to understand it. (Sam Abell)
Sam Abell - From the Materials category:
It matters little how much equipment we use; it matters much that we be masters of all we do use. (Sam Abell)
Sam Abell - From the Photography category:
Whether working or not, photographers are looking, seeing, and thinking about what they see, a habit that is both a pleasure and a problem, for we seldom capture in a single photograph the full expression of what we see and feel. (Sam Abell)
Sam Abell - From the Photography category:
Photography, alone of the arts, seems perfected to serve the desire humans have for a moment - this very moment - to stay. (Sam Abell)
Sam Abell - From the Photography category:
We know that photographs inform people. We also know that photographs move people. The photograph that does both is the one we want to see and make. (Sam Abell)
Sam Abell - From the Risk category:
A mad, keen photographer needs to get out into the world and work and make mistakes. (Sam Abell)
Sam Abell - From the Simplicity category:
Photography produces pleasure by simplicity. I see something special and show it to the camera. A picture is produced. The moment is held until someone sees it. Then it is theirs. (Sam Abell)
