A photograph is usually looked at - seldom looked into. ~ Ansel Adams
大多數人,「觀看」照片;很少有人,「閱讀」照片。
大多數人,「看」照片;很少有人,「讀」照片。
A picture should be looked at - not talked about. ~ S. D. Jouhar
照片,應該被觀看,而非被談論。
The art of looking at pictures can only be properly acquired by constantly looking at pictures. ~ S. D. Jouhar
觀看照片的技巧,僅能藉由不斷地觀看照片來獲得。
Ultimately — or at the limit — in order to see a photograph well, it is best to look away or close your eyes. ~ Roland Barthes
終究要看懂照片,最好的方式就是,看別處或閉上眼。
Shutting your eyes is to make the image speak in silence. ~ Roland Barthes
閉上雙眼,傾聽照片,靜靜地說。
閉上眼,聽照片,靜無言。
To say nothing, to shut my eyes, to allow the detail to rise of its own accord into affective consciousness. ~ Roland Barthes
(在看照片時)不說話,閉上眼,讓照片的細節自動浮現,變成你的情感意識。
At first glance a photograph can inform us. At second glance it can reach us. ~ Minor White
一張照片,看第一眼,了解資訊;再看一眼,打動人心。
We know that photographs inform people. We also know that photographs move people. The photograph that does both is the one we want to see and make. ~ Sam Abell
有些照片,教人資訊;有些照片,打動人心。兩者兼有,是為佳作;想要觀賞,想要拍攝。
