“And the people in the photographs always seem a lot happier than you are.”

“Old pictures look very rugged and young, and the people in the photographs always seem a lot happier than you are.”

“If one only wished to be happy, this could be easily accomplished; but we wish to be happier than other people, and this is always difficult, for we believe others to be happier than they are.”

“To the complaint, 'There are no people in these photographs,' I respond, There are always two people: the photographer and the viewer.”

“When you photograph people in color, you photograph their clothes. But when you photograph people in Black and white, you photograph their souls!”

“A photograph never grows old. You and I change, people change all through the months and years but a photograph always remains the same. How nice to look at a photograph of mother or father taken many years ago. You see them as you remember them. But as people live on, they change completely. That is why I think a photograph can be kind.”
