“I see no reason for recording the obvious.” — Edward Weston Quote

I see no reason for recording the obvious.

Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.

Consulting the rules of composition before taking a photograph, is like consulting the laws of gravity before going for a walk.

Now to consult the rules of composition before making a picture is a little like consulting the law of gravitation before going for a walk. Such rules and laws are deduced from the accomplished fact; they are the products of reflection.

There is nothing like a Bach fugue to remove me from a discordant moment... only Bach hold up fresh and strong after repeated playing. I can always return to Bach when the other records weary me.

If anything, you just let your racket talk - there's no reason for you to talk if your racket can.

There's no reason to do 'ex and the City' if it's not going to be everything 'Sex and the City' is, which is vibrant emotions, comedy, drama... and also, style.

I want to give my fans who believe in me - even in times where I feel like I gave them no reason to believe in me - I want to give them that reason to believe.

Now that people are seeing what can be accomplished virtually, there will be no reason to send people on long, expensive trips for one meeting.
