#16 “I believe in the imagination. What I cannot see is infinitely more important than what I can see.” Duane Michals

I agree with this quote. I have always thought that I have a great sense of imagination and I think that has a large effect on my photography. It is important to imaginw different things and figure out how to implement them in your photography. Currently, I have this idea about doing a hanged woman photo. I don't know how to do it, but I imagine I'll figure it out without hurting someone.

#17 "Landscape photography is the supreme test of the photographer—and often the supreme disappointment.” ~Ansel Adams

This is true. I recently started the landscape assignment, and it's been really tough. I know what I want to capture, but nature has so many variables. I can't control the weather, or a random leaf blowing through the scene. I definitely ended up a bit disappointed. There are also a ton of lighting considerations that make it all the more difficult. I perfer situations that I have more control over.

#18  “I think photographs should be provocative and not tell you what you already know. It takes no great powers or magic to reproduce somebody's face in a photograph. The magic is in seeing people in new ways.” Duane Michals

I disagree with this quote. The single image of a person's face can say alot. I don't believe it's always necessary to see people in deifferent ways. Sometimes people are completely interesting on their own. I think the magic is in capturing the true nature of a person.
