‘A picture is worth a thousand words’….or so the saying goes. But sometimes authors, journalists, commentators, philosophers and heck, on occasions, even snappers, describe photography and the picture-taking process with a memorable phrase or succinct saying.
With apologies if I have either misquoted or misattributed any of the following quotations, here is a selection of my favourites in no particular order:
‘One of the risks of appearing in public is the likelihood of being photographed.’ (Diane Arbus)
‘Most things in life are moments of pleasure and a lifetime of embarrassment; photography is a moment of embarrassment and a lifetime of pleasure.’ (Tony Benn)
‘It is more important to click with people than to click the shutter.’ (Alfred Eisenstaedt)
