Berenice Abbot said :

Photography helps people to see.

Some people are still unaware that reality contains unparalleled beauties. The fantastic and unexpected, the ever-changing and renewing is nowhere so exemplified as in real life itself.

Photography can never grow up if it imitates some other medium. It has to walk alone; it has to be itself.

I took to photography like a duck to water. I never wanted to do anything else. Excitement about the subject is the voltage which pushes me over the mountain of drudgery necessary to produce the final photograph.

I am so fascinated with this century it will help keep me alive. I’ll be there until the last minute, fighting.

"There’s a woman at the beginning of all great things."
