Constantine Manos quotes:

Grain is the brush stroke of photography.

The flow of people in a setting, their changing relationships to each other and their environment, and their constantly changing expressions and movements - all combine to create dynamic situations that provide the photographer with limitless choices of when to push the button. By choosing a precise intersection between subject and time, he may transform the ordinary into the extraordinary and the real into the surreal.

It is easy to take good pictures, difficult to take very good pictures, and almost impossible to take great pictures.

Try not to take pictures which simply show what something looks like. By the way you put the elements of an image together in a frame show us something we have never seen before and will never see again.

By choosing a precise intersection between subject and time, he may transform the ordinary into the extraordinary and the real into the surreal.

Taking good pictures is easy. Making very good pictures is difficult. Making great pictures is almost impossible
