Below are
some of his quotes when he was alive:
“My work
is done. Why wait?”
“What we
do during our working hours determines what we have; what we do in our leisure
hours determines what we are.”
“We were
starting to make photography an everyday affair, to make the camera as
convenient as the pencil.”
“You push
the button, we do the rest.”
“Light
makes photography. Embrace light. Admire it. Love it. But above all, know
light. Know it for all you are worth, and you will know the key to photography.”
“I don’t
believe in men waiting until they are ready to die before using any of their
money for helpful purposes.”
“I used to
think that music was like lace upon a garment, nice to have but not necessary.
I have come to believe that music is absolutely essential to our community
life.”
Have a great week everyone.
