“The photograph isn't good enough. It's not real enough.” — David Hockney Quote

“The photograph isn't good enough. It's not real enough.”

“People tell me they open my e-mails first, because they aren't demands and you don't need to reply. They're simply for pleasure.”

“But the moment you use an ordinary camera, you are not seeing the picture, remember, meaning, you had to remember what you've taken. Now you could see it of course, with a digital thing, but remember in 1982 you couldn't.”

“Photorealism's goal is to reproduce a photograph. The best photorealism can't beat a printer, and I have a really nice printer.”

“Nothing in the world in perfect. Even a still photograph.”

“I hate having my photograph taken.”
