I just found this file I'd been saving with a collection of quotations from various illustrious members of the PDML and I thought I'd share it with the rest of you.
Quotations from the PDML: "It's more important to be a photographer than a professional." - Collin Brendemuehl "...the Limited lenses have more soul than Otis Redding!" - P�l Jensen "I have absolutely no doubt that after the nuclear holocaust, the only things left on earth will be billions of fat and happy cockroaches and tens of thousands of perfectly functional K1000s" - John Edwin Mason "Why is photography the only art form for which some... neurotics demand something called... truth!" - Bob Blakely "The telling of beautiful, untrue things is the proper aim of art" - Oscar Wilde (He *would* be a PDML member if he were still alive) "The photographer's lack of discipline is independent of the camera." - P�l Jensen "When you're a hobbyist, your equipment and your pictures are the most important things. When you're working, time and money are the most important things." - Paul Stenquist "Except for losing the car, I did pretty well from an equipment reliability standpoint." - D. Glenn Arthur "Photography is art. Art is practised by artists. Artists as a group have more ego than most other definable groups." - William Robb "'Information' doesn't have anything to do with art." - Mike Johnston "...there is nothing like the feel of several hundred dollars worth of ergonomic magnesium alloy in your hands." - Brendan Bhagan "If metering were as hard to SUCCEED at as it is to understand, there would be far, far fewer photographs in the world." - Mike Johnston "A Pentax will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no Pentax." - Bill Casselberry "Being the smallest gorilla in a troop of gorillas still means that you're a gorilla." - Fred "I'm not out there to impress someone with my image, only with my images... As long as that's the case, I'll use my Pentaxes, thank you." - Anonymous Lurker "I shoot with primes when I can and zooms when the need dictates." - Bruce Dayton "Get out there and take some pictures!" - Doug Brewer -- Mark Roberts www.robertstech.com Photography and writing
