Foto inspirerende uitspraken









De camera is een doodgemakkelijke manier om die andere werkelijkheid te ontmoeten.
Minor White, Amerikaans fotograaf (1908 - 1976)

Ik maak altijd in gedachten foto’s bij wijze van oefening.
Onbekend

In elk onverwacht moment schuilt een mooie foto.

De flits is de zaklamp voor fotografen.


Fotografie leert je om te kijken.
Berenice Abbott, Amerikaans fotograaf (1898 - 1991)

Je neemt geen foto's, je maakt ze.
Ansel Adams, Amerikaans landschapsfotograaf (1902 - 1984)


Er zijn geen regels voor een goede foto, er zijn gewoon goede foto's.


Een geweldige foto geeft volledig je diepe gevoel weer over wat je fotografeert.

Een echte foto hoef je niet uit te leggen en kun je niet in woorden vatten.
Diane Arbus, Amerikaans portretfotografe (1923 - 1971)

Ik geloof echt dat er dingen zijn die niemand zou zien als ik ze niet fotografeerde.

Wat belangrijk is om te weten is dat je het nooit weet. Elke keer moet je het min of meer aanvoelen.

Ik heb nooit een foto gemaakt precies zoals ik bedoeld had. Ze worden altijd beter of slechter.

Een foto is een geheim over een geheim. Hoe meer hij zegt, hoe minder je weet.

Als ik alleen maar nieuwsgierig was, zou het heel moeilijk zijn om tegen iemand te zeggen: “Ik wil bij jou thuis komen en ik wil dat je met me praat en me je levensgeschiedenis vertelt.” Ik bedoel maar dat de mensen zouden vragen: “Ben je gek?” Plus dat ze behoorlijk achterdochtig zouden worden. Maar de camera is een soort vergunning. een heleboel mensen willen juist zoveel aandacht krijgen en het is ook een redelijk soort aandacht om te krijgen.

Eve Arnold, Amerikaans fotografe (1912)

Als een fotograaf geeft om de mensen voor de lens en meeleeft, scheelt dat enorm. De fotograaf is het instrument, niet de camera.

Richard Avedon, Amerikaans fotograaf (1923 - 2004)

Mijn portretten zeggen meer over mij dan over de mensen die ik fotografeer.

Walter Benjamin, Joods-Duitse cultuurfilosoof (1892 - 1940)

De behoefte om de dingen ruimtelijk en menselijk ‘dichterbij’ te brengen, is tegenwoordig bijna een obsessie geworden, net als de neiging om de unieke of vluchtige hoedanigheid van een bepaalde gebeurtenis te negeren door haar fotografisch te reproduceren.

Bill Brandt, Engels fotograaf (1904 - 1983)

Een fotograaf moet voorbereid zijn om die elementen te vangen die het onderwerp onderscheiden of die het sfeer geven.

Het hoort bij het werk van de fotograaf om meer intens te te kijken dan de meeste andere mensen. Het is de houding van een kind die de wereld voor het eerst ziet of van een reiziger die een vreemd land bezoekt.

Het gaat om de gave om het leven om je heen helder en levendig te zien, als iets dat opwindend is van zichzelf. Het is een aangeboren talent, dat varieert in intensiteit door het temperament en de omgeving van de fotograaf.

Robert Capa, Hongaars fotojournalist (1913 - 1954)

Als je foto's niet goed genoeg zijn dan was je niet dicht genoeg bij je onderwerp.

De foto's zijn er en je neemt ze gewoon.

Ik hoop tot het eind van mijn leven werkloos te blijven als oorlogsfotograaf.
Henri Cartier-Bresson, Frans fotograaf (1908 - 2004)

Fotografie is een directe reactie, tekenen is meditatie.

Wij fotografen werken met dingen die continu verdwijnen en als ze verdwenen zijn kan niets op de wereld ze weer terug laten komen. Je kunt een herinnering niet fotograferen.

De foto interesseert met niet. Ik wil alleen een klein stukje van de werkelijkheid vastleggen.

Bij fotografie kunnen de kleinste dingen een groots onderwerp zijn. Het kleine, menselijke, detail kan een een belangrijk thema worden.

Je eerste 10 000 foto’s zijn je slechtste.
Rineke Dijkstra, Nederlands fotografe (1959)

Ik probeer te bereiken dat je als kijker in de huid van iemand anders kunt kruipen. Ik zoek altijd onderwerpen die iets universeels hebben, bepaalde ervaringen die iedereen wel kent.
Alfred Eisenstaedt, Duits fotograaf (1898 - 1995)

Het is belangrijker dat het met de mensen [voor de lens] klikt dan dat de sluiter klikt.

Hou het simpel.

Elliott Erwitt, Amerikaans fotojournalist (1928)

Fotografie is voor mij de kunst van het observeren. Het gaat er om iets interessants vinden in een gewone omgeving. Ik heb ervaren dat de dingen die je ziet er weinig toe doen maar dat alles draait om de manier waarop je ze ziet.

Je kunt overal beelden vinden. Het is eenvoudig het opmerken van dingen en ze een plek geven. Je hoeft alleen maar te geven om wat er om je heen gebeurt en je echt interesseren voor de mensheid.

Een foto moet naar gekeken worden, niet over verteld worden.

Emmet Gowin, Amerikaans fotograaf (1941)


Mijn foto’s zijn bedoeld om iets voor te stellen dat je niet ziet.

Ernst Haas, Amerikaans fotograaf (1921 - 1986)


Ik ben niet geïnteresseerd in het fotograferen van nieuwe dingen - ik wil dingen op een nieuwe manier zien.

Er is alleen maar jijzelf en je camera. De beperkingen in je fotografie zitten in jezelf, want wat je ziet is wat je bent.Een foto is een uitdrukking van een impressie. Als schoonheid niet binnenin ons zit, hoe hadden we het dan ooit kunnen herkennen?
Lewis Hine, Amerikaans socioloog en fotograaf (1874 - 1940)

Als ik het verhaal in woorden kon vertellen hoefde ik niet met een camera te sjouwen.
André Kertész, Hongaars fotograaf (1894 - 1985)

De camera is mijn werktuig. Daarmee geef ik een bestaansreden aan alles om mij heen.
Annie Leibovitz, Amerikaans fotografe (1949)

Wat je in mijn portretten ziet is dat ik niet bang was om verliefd te worden op die mensen.

Als ik zeg dat ik iemand wil fotograferen bedoel ik eigenlijk dat ik ze wil leren kennen. Iedereen die ik ken fotografeer ik.
Pablo Picasso, Spaans kunstenaar (1881 - 1973)

De fotografie heeft zich zo ontwikkeld dat zij in staat is om de schilderkunst te bevrijden van het literaire, het anekdotische en zelfs van het onderwerp… Waarom zouden de schilders niet profiteren van hun pas verworven vrijheid en andere dingen gaan doen?
Man Ray, Joods-Amerikaans surrealistisch fotograaf (1890 - 1976)

Ik fotografeer dingen die ik niet wil schilderen en ik schilder dingen die ik niet kan fotograferen.
Mick van Schooneveld, Amsterdams fotograaf

Mijn fotografie bezorgt mij voor 90% teleurstelling, voor 8% nederigheid en voor 2% voorzichtige hoop. Voor tevredenheid is zelden plaats. De beste foto moet namelijk altijd nog worden gemaakt.

De mens is het meest paradoxale, het meest uitgebreide, het meest gefacetteerde, kortom het meest onontkoombare onderwerp dat de fotografie kent. Het is zelfs een zo onontkoombaar onderwerp, dat ook pure landschapsfotografen zich ermee bezighouden, omdat zij in hun foto’s nu eenmaal steeds weer hun eigen verhouding tot een landschap vastleggen.

Je kunt mensen niet tonen wat zij niet kunnen zien.
George Bernard Shaw, Iers toneelschrijver (1856 - 1950)

Een fotograaf lijkt op de kabeljauw die een miljoen eitjes maakt waarvan er één volwassen wordt.
Han Singels, Nederlands documentair fotograaf (1942)

Je verliest je bij een onderwerp maar al te gemakkelijk in het uitzonderlijke en het theatrale. Maar daarmee doe je het geen recht. Want het gaat over leven, over wat er is, en niet over wat je daar als fotograaf voor moois van kunt maken.

Ik ben er nu eenmaal van overtuigd dat goede fotografie van nature conservatief is. Alleen dan behoudt het ook na jaren zijn kracht.
Isabel Snyder, Amerikaans modefotografe

Fotograferen leerde ik door het te doen, door iets fantastisch moois te maken, door te falen, door te verbeteren, door te leren.

Een portret moet iets onthullen. Als het dat niet doet... dan is het in mijn ogen geen portret. Heb jij ooit een modefoto gezien die iets over de persoonlijkheid van het model zegt?
Jerry N. Uelsman, Amerikaans kunstfotograaf (1934)

De kunst van fotografie is een moment met gevoel  vast te leggen op de gevoelige plaat.
Stan Rams

My upbringing in Canada made me the person I am. I will always be proud to be a Canadian.

Jim Carrey

The money can be a hindrance to someone like me because the danger is that you start thinking, 'Is that a $20 million take?' That kind of thing, and being self-critical.

Jim Carrey

When the first big paycheque with 'Dumb And Dumber' hit, I went: 'Gosh, I wonder if this will affect my performance. Will I do a take and think, was that worth $7 million?' But that never happened. If anything, it made me rebel against that thing when people who get rich start playing it safe.
Jim Carrey

Ya know what I do almost every day? I wash. Personal hygiene is part of the package with me.
Jim Carrey

You know, I live a monastic lifestyle. No, I do. I do live in extremes, basically. I go back and forth. Once every six months, I'll have a day where I eat more chocolate than has ever been consumed by a human being.
Jim Carrey


One thing I hope I'll never be is drunk with my own power. And anybody who says I am will never work in this town again.
Jim Carrey

Originality is really important.
Jim Carrey

People need motivation to do anything. I don't think human beings learn anything without desperation.
Jim Carrey



I'm very serious about no alcohol, no drugs. Life is too beautiful.
Jim Carrey

I've arrived at the place if I'm not taking a career risk, I'm not happy. If I'm scared, then I know I'm being challenged.
Jim Carrey

I've never been one to sit back and go, 'I'd better do what the audience wants me to do, because I don't want to lose them.'
Jim Carrey

I've tried everything. I've done therapy, I've done colonics. I went to a psychic who had me running around town buying pieces of ribbon to fill the colors in my aura. Did the Prozac thing.
Jim Carrey

If I had never ventured beyond being a stand-up comic, then I would be sitting in my house today working on my Leonardo DiCaprio impression.
Jim Carrey

If you aren't in the moment, you are either looking forward to uncertainty, or back to pain and regret.
Jim Carrey


I know this sounds strange, but as a kid, I was really shy. Painfully shy. The turning point was freshman year, when I was the biggest geek alive. No one, I mean no one, even talked to me.
Jim Carrey

I love playing ego and insecurity combined.
Jim Carrey

Stan Rams qoutes en poezie







Heal the children


Can you play as hearts cry
feeling hope and yoy
till the morning has come
that they die


She struggled in the valley
as blind as one can be
swimming in a sea of fears
talking to the treas

Brothas sistas
hide all day and night
delete the lonlyness and pain
in the super go go train

In the silence lies
the secret of all secrets
so shut your mouth
and feel to understand


Climb the rose mountain
open the gates of your heart
play with the angels
fill the world with love

Mammy playes with dimes
dressed so well and fine
eating grapes of pleasure
in the gardens of delight

Daddy s counting stars
waiting or a miracle
fighting with a shadow
made of prayers and ice

Climb the rose mountain
open the gates of paradise
dance with the angels
fill the world with yoy

Sista don t you cry
the future is a surprise
share your candy and balloons
with the lords in your room

Brotha don t you cry
sail the seas of love
fill the sky with peace
dont blame the world
for the wars they fight

Climb the rose mountain
open the gates of paradise
dance with the angels
fill the world with love


Brothas sistas
sail away in the moonlight
heal the children of the night
with your lovely smile

Een woord

Haar handen laten een laatste teken
in schaduwen die zich speels
vlechten in klinkers muren,
het enige licht streelt
als tussen voegen
werpt een zin
zich binnen


loop door de dromen deur
nader tot je muzen
in het woordloos paradijs
maar schrik niet,
voel blijf

hoezeer je ook verlangt
te zijn
spreek slechts een woord
een woord van liefde
om onsterfelijk
te zijn

Stan Rams


Alles komt goed en als het niet goed komt dan vergaat de wereld nog lang niet.

Dromen zijn lekker om te dromen, de zin van het leven is te leren dromen.

Kunst is alles dat een mens maakt of schept dat een kunstenaar doet voorstellen.

Kunst is een zegen, de kunst om van het leven een kunst te maken.

Euro:Europees uitmuntend ranzig opmaakmiddel.

Eurites: Eurokoorst , besmettelijke ziekte die je beurs aantast

Passie: het verlangen naar waar je hart van overloopt totdat je er genoeg van hebt.

De ware liefde is er een uit velen, die je nooit meer doet vervelen.

Eenmaal liefhebben vraagt om meer want als je eenmaal van iemand houd vergeet je hem of haar nooit meer.

Liefde is je laatste sigaret delen met je geliefde, geven wat je zelf graag houd en nemen wat een ander voor je over heeft, liefde is oneindig, een liefdevolle daad maar meestal van korte duur.

Overal waar te voor staat is teveel behalve bij tevreden en bij "lief".

Vrede op aarde is goed mogelijk als de wereld slaapt.Vrede op aarde is mogelijk
als de wereld wakker word, vrede houd op waar de mens ruzie om maakt, ruzie houd op waar liefde overwint.

Geloof is het gevoel dat alle kennis overstijgt waar je je aan overgeeft,wat mensen ook geloven, elk mens gelooft wel ergens in.

Geloven is alles wat je voelt en denkt dat je niet met honderd procent zekerheid kunt weten.

Als God niet zou bestaan, zouden wij niet kunnen geloven dat hij niet bestaat.

Het leven is meer dan wat mensen geloven en nalaten uit geloof doen.

Leuk,wat mensen leuk vinden, vinden mensen leuk om te delen, wat minder prettig
is daar zwijgt men doodleuk over.

Stan Rams


Mijn Alles

Alles dat ik doe
doe ik voor jou

Alles dat ik geef
geef ik aan jou

Alles dat ik laat
laat ik voor jou

Alles dat mij lief is
heb ik lief omwille van jou

Waarheen je ook gaat
ik zal je trouw volgen

Waarheen de weg ook gaat
ik zal bij je blijven

door goede tijden
en slechte tijden

heel mijn leven
tot in de dood

zo ben ik gelukkig
omdat ik voor altijd
van je hou

Stan Rams


Highest Aim of Mankind

After the bitter tears
heaven again washed away
the blood coloured earth.

Heaven smiles again
giving us all a new chance
to fulfill our highest aim within
each days new rebirth.

To open hearts to love
and peace
as blessed we shall be
in the name off
the Spring of Light
and Peace
off us all.


Engelen


Zij die stralen lichten
Je behoeden
Waartoe God hen heeft
bestemd
zonder dat je hen ooit
ziet of kent

Wind

Waardoor ruisen de bladeren
reizen de wolken
zweven de vogels
ademt de mens

Geloof

Wat maakt

van al dat leeft

in jou en mij
creëert

Johan Sebastian Bach


Hem gegeven
alle zegen over schone toetsen
die het hart harder doen slaan
leeft hij door de eeuwigheid
gedragen in Zijn glorie
en Zijn naam

Ster

een ster is geboren
sluit je ogen
doe een wens
voel een licht
geboren in je hart

Stan Rams


Verliefd verdwaald bevrijd


Mijn lief, je liet me zweven
zo hoog in de wolken
als het kon

verliefd verdwaald verdwenen
achter de zon ....

tot in liefde gedragen
het licht weer schijnt
en we wij de weg
weervinden

vrij van de last
van het verleden
om vrij en gelukkig
met elkaar te zijn

Stan Rams


The Sound of Love


In the silence
of the morning
there is a sound
that goes from north
to south and all
the world around

through winters
peaceful white
all trough time
when ever we mourn
or celebrate life

as teardrops fall
in mild autums rains
and wind lifts
leavfes gently
in rainbows sky

there is nohting
more to be more
grateful for

then feeling
the sound of love
in the tragedies
of life


Stan Rams


There is a sign in the world (lied)

There is a sign in the world
that everyone needs and the sign
that we need is Love

No more war no more pain
but love for everyone
that is what we need

There is a sign in the world
that everyone needs
and the sign that we need is peace


No more war no more pain
but peace for everyone that
is what we need


There is a sign in the world
that everyone needs and the sign
that we need is Love

There is a sign in the world
that everyone needs
and the sign that we need is peace

Zonnebloem

In mijn tuin staat
met wel duizend zaadjes in de kop
een hele mooie zonnebloem.

Als toch elk zaadje
van die bloem een duizendje
was kon ik veel leuke
dingen doen.

Maar als ik echt goed kijk
voel ik me pas rijk
als er geen geld kleeft
aan al dat bloeit en leeft.

Zonder een cent voel ik me
sterk en kan ik er weer
tegenaan.

dan lacht de zonnebloem mij
tussen al die bloempjes
weer zo liefjes aan.

Lucille Ball Most Funny Quotes







Ability is of little account without opportunity.
Lucille Ball

How I Love Lucy was born? We decided that instead of divorce lawyers profiting from our mistakes, we'd profit from them.
Lucille Ball

I am a real ham. I love an audience. I work better with an audience. I am dead, in fact, without one.
Lucille Ball

I hate failure and that divorce was a Number One failure in my eyes. It was the worst period of my life. Neither Desi nor I have been the same since, physically or mentally.
Lucille Ball

I have an everyday religion that works for me. Love yourself first, and everything else falls into line.
Lucille Ball

I regret the passing of the studio system. I was very appreciative of it because I had no talent.
Lucille Ball

I think knowing what you cannot do is more important than knowing what you can.
Lucille Ball

I will never do another TV series. It couldn't top I Love Lucy, and I'd be foolish to try. In this business, you have to know when to get off.
Lucille Ball

I'd rather regret the things I've done than regret the things I haven't done.
Lucille Ball

I'm happy that I have brought laughter because I have been shown by many the value of it in so many lives, in so many ways.
Lucille Ball

I'm not funny. What I am is brave.
Lucille Ball

I'm sometimes scared of everything that has happened to us. We didn't think Desilu Productions would grow so big. We merely wanted to be together and have two children.
Lucille Ball


The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age.
Lucille Ball

Use a make-up table with everything close at hand and don't rush; otherwise you'll look like a patchwork quilt.
Lucille Ball

Women's Lib? Oh, I'm afraid it doesn't interest me one bit. I've been so liberated it hurts.
Lucille Ball

You see much more of your children once they leave home.
Lucille Ball


If you want something done, ask a busy person to do it. The more things you do, the more you can do.
Lucille Ball

In life, all good things come hard, but wisdom is the hardest to come by.
Lucille Ball

It's a helluva start, being able to recognize what makes you happy.
Lucille Ball

Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world.
Lucille Ball

Luck? I don't know anything about luck. I've never banked on it and I'm afraid of people who do. Luck to me is something else: Hard work - and realizing what is opportunity and what isn't.
Lucille Ball

Once in his life, every man is entitled to fall madly in love with a gorgeous redhead.
Lucille Ball

One of the things I learned the hard way was that it doesn' t pay to get discouraged. Keeping busy and making optimism a way of life can restore your faith in yourself.
Lucille Ball

The more things you do, the more you can do.
Lucille Ball
