77+ Photography quotes and an Interesting Blog

[Hamish Gill]

Mooching on DPR as I do i stumbled accross a link to a blog by a chap called David M Byrne.
His second to latest article was of great interest to me!
I have thought many times about compiling a list of interesting photography quotes ... Well it seems David has done that very task...

77+ Photography Quotes | davidMbyrne.com
One of my all time favorites at number 32

Dodging and burning are steps to take care of mistakes God made in establishing tonal relationships.

– Ansel Adams

His latest article In The Eye of the Beholder | davidMbyrne.com
Also strikes a chord with me ... exploring the vast range of comments from the DPR membership about an image of a chap on a boat...

Well worth a read in my opinion!

Once you have had a looksee through that lot, there is also a stack of lovely photography in his gallery dMb - Image Gallery
All in all, quite the find IMO!

I have since contacted him and he has joined our little community ...
so, Hi David, I shall look forward to reading any insights or images you might feel it pertinent to share with us
