It takes a lot of imagination to be a good photographer. You need less imagination to be a painter because you can invent things. But in photography everything is so ordinary; it takes a lot of looking before you learn to see the extraordinary.
成为一名优秀的摄影师需要很大的想象力。成为一名画家，你不需要太多的想象力，因为你可以创造东西。但在摄影中，一切都是那么平凡;在你学会看到不平凡之前，你需要仔细观察。

建构与创造的全部区别就在于:一个被建构的事物只有在被建构之后才能被爱;但是创造出来的东西在它存在之前就已经被爱了。
