Hello there everyone!

I think we all can agree that we have a favorite photography quote and I'm interested in learning some new ones that I may have not heard before.

Please list who they are by, if you don't know please try to find out. I'm very big on giving people credit. (Screw you Instagram )

Here are my three favorites.

1) You don't take a photograph, you make it. -Ansel Adams
2) Your first 10,000 photos are your worst. -Henri Cartier-Bresson
3) I always thought good photos were like good jokes. If you have to explain it, it just isn't that good. -Anonymous
