Quotes
“It’s taken a long time to make photographs say what I want them to say, to shape time rather than stop it.” — Jennifer McClure in Lenscratch
“When it comes to both learning your craft and finding your voice within it, the more influences you have, the better. And the more you play with those influences and the more combinations you can experiment with, the better you’ll be able to make choices about what is and is not ‘you.’ Miles Davis isn’t encouraging us to find our style; he’s encouraging us to find ourselves. Or rather, he’s making a case for finding our voice.” — David DuChemin
“Style is expression. It’s all external. It’s what we see. Voice goes further. Voice is not only how we express something, but what we express. Voice includes what we say.” — David DuChemin
