"Sometimes they are a matter of luck; the photographer could not expect or hope for them. Sometimes they are a matter of patience, waiting for an effect to be repeated that he has seen and lost or for one that he anticipates"
- Bill Brandt
About this Quote
This quote by Bill Brandt speaks with the concept that some pictures refer luck, and some refer patience. When it concerns luck, the professional photographer can not expect or expect a certain result, as it runs out their control. However, when it comes to perseverance, the photographer needs to wait on a specific effect to be duplicated, either one they have seen and lost, or one they expect. This speaks with the concept that photography is a mix of luck and ability, and that the professional photographer must be prepared to wait for the ideal moment to record the perfect shot. It likewise speaks to the idea that the photographer should be patient and have faith that the ideal shot will come, even if it spends some time.
"Poets have said that the reason to have children is to give yourself immortality. Immortality? Now that I have five children, my only hope is that they are all out of the house before I die"
"Courage is sometimes frail as hope is frail: a fragile shoot between two stones that grows brave toward the sun though warmth and brightness fail, striving and faith the only strength it knows"
