I realized that one of the differences between news photography and dance photography was that the former has to tell a specific story, whereas all a dance photograph had to be was visually interesting.

Lois Greenfield

Photography is simultaneously and instantaneously the recognition of a fact and the rigorous organization of visually perceived forms that express and signify that fact

Henri Cartier-Bresson

Street hockey is great for kids. It's energetic, competitive, and skilful. And best of all, it keeps them off the street.

Gus Kyle

If you look at most photography, especially the pictures that grab you, they are not objective at all. Sometimes gut wrenching and sometimes lovely, but the moment someone decides to release the shutter, it is an editorial statement.

John Filo

I'm a better editorial cartoonist by default because so many editorial cartoonists out there are so awful.

Ted Rall

I like to think of Photography 1.0 as the invention of photography. Photography 2.0 is digital technology and the move from film and paper to everything on a chip. Photography 3.0 is the use of the camera, space, and color and to capture an object in the third dimension.

Edward Burtynsky

Most people don't read editorial pages. I think I must have been 40 before I even looked at an editorial page.

Tom Wolfe

I think there is a real value in an editorial point-of-view and in editorial curation, and in putting together an entire narrative around a set of topics is important.

Michael Wolf

Helena Christensen

First you study photography, then you practice photography, then you serve photography, and finally one becomes photography.

Ralph Gibson

Machine Gun Kelly

With a standard editorial cartoon, you're taking tons of information and synthesizing it down to a single bite - a single moment in time. With animated editorial cartoons, it's more storytelling.

Walt Handelsman

Now that photography is a digital medium, the ghost of painting is coming to haunt it: photography no longer retains a sense of truth. I think that's great, because it frees photography from factuality, the same way photography freed painting from factuality in the mid-nineteenth century.

I think I was a pretty energetic kid. Well, I was energetic until about my mid-20s when I discovered alcohol. That's not entirely true, but you get older and the edge comes off.
