\nEnjoy this collection of quotes by photographer Adam Fuss.
\n\u201cI was attracted to photography because it was technical, full of gadgets, and I was obsessed with science. But at some point around fifteen or sixteen, I had a sense that photography could provide a bridge from the world of science to the world of art, or image. Photography was a means of crossing into a new place I didn\u2019t know.\u201d – Adam Fuss
\n\u201cPhotography is compellingly attractive because it is recording light. But it’s not so much for me the light in photographs that I’ve been attracted to, it is the experience of light in my life that interested me in photography.\u201d – Adam Fuss
\n\u201cWe\u2019re so conditioned to the syntax of the camera that we don\u2019t realize that we are running on only half the visual alphabet… It\u2019s what we see every day in the magazines, on billboards and even on television. All those images are being produced basically the same way, through a lens and a camera. I\u2019m saying there are many, many other ways to produce photographic imagery, and I would imagine that a lot of them have yet to be explored.\u201d – Adam Fuss
\n\u201cI would say that the lens is a manipulation of an image. To me the photogram is a non-manipulation of the object and the interaction of the object with light and the direct recording of that. To me that’s pure photographic imagery. As soon as you have a lens, you’re reinterpreting the outside world.\u201d – Adam Fuss
\n\u201cI see the photogram as being much more truthful and much more honest because it’s just recording light. There is no manipulation of that light, in the way that a lens manipulates light.\u201d – Adam Fuss
\n\u201cAn echo is a good way to describe the photogram, which is a visual echo of the real object. That’s why I like to work with the photogram, because the contact with what is represented is actual. It’s as if the border between the world and the print is osmotic.\u201d – Adam Fuss
\n\u201cAll of photography is the recording of light. It is all representational.\u201d – Adam Fuss
\n\u201cThe scale is one of the things that makes an image more honest.\u201d – Adam Fuss
\n\u201cWhat strikes the inside of our eyes is completely open to interpretation. We don’t know what strikes the inside of our eyes because our brain gets in the way. What strikes the inside of the eyes is upside down for start. So if the brain can do that, it can do anything. We learn a lot of things about seeing. We learn how to see.\u201d – Adam Fuss
\n\u201cJust do it until you figure out what you are doing. Then you do some more. Well, for myself I find that I need to do something again and again before I understand what it is that I am actually doing.\u201d – Adam Fuss
