A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
摄影
Photography
When I'm ready to make a photograph, I think I quite obviously see in my minds eye something that is not literally there in the true meaning of the word. I'm interested in something which is built up from within, rather than just extracted from without.
当我准备拍照的时候，我觉得我的脑海中很明显地看到了一些东西，而不是字面上的意思。我感兴趣的是内在的东西，而不是外在的东西。
The use of the term art medium is, to say the least, misleading, for it is the artist that creates a work of art not the medium. It is the artist in photography that gives form to content by a distillation of ideas, thought, experience, insight and understanding.
艺术媒介一词的使用，至少可以说是误导人的，因为创造艺术作品的是艺术家而不是媒介。摄影艺术家通过对思想、思想、经验、洞见和理解的升华，赋予内容以形式。
When I first became interested in photography, I thought it was the whole cheese. My idea was to have it recognized as one of the fine arts. Today I don't give a hoot in hell about that. The mission of photography is to explain man to man and each man to himself.
当我第一次对摄影感兴趣的时候，我认为它是一个完整的奶酪。我的想法是让它被认为是一门艺术。今天我对此毫不在意。摄影的使命是人与人之间以及每个人对自己的解释。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Some photographers take reality... and impose the domination of their own thought and spirit. Others come before reality more tenderly and a photograph to them is an instrument of love and revelation.
有些摄影师把现实…并把自己的思想和精神强加于人。另一些人更温柔地来到现实面前，照片对他们来说是爱和启示的工具。
Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face, the beauty of the earth and skies that man has inherited, and the wealth and confusion man has created. It is a major force in explaining man to man.
摄影记录了人类脸上所写的各种情感，人类所继承的大地与天空之美，人类所创造的财富与困惑。它是解释人与人之间关系的主要力量。
To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.
对我来说，摄影是一种观察的艺术。它是关于在一个普通的地方发现一些有趣的东西…我发现这与你所看到的事物无关，而是与你看待事物的方式有关。
Sometimes I do get to places just when God's ready to have somebody click the shutter.
有时候，当上帝准备让某人按下快门的时候，我确实到了一些地方。
I find it some of the hardest photography and the most challenging photography I've ever done. It's a real challenge to work with the natural features and the natural light.
我发现这是我拍过的最难的照片，也是最具挑战性的照片。这是一个真正的挑战与自然特征和自然光的工作。
