I believe in the imagination. What I cannot see is infinitely more important than what I can see.
More Quotes from Duane Michals:
Photography deals exquisitely with appearances, but nothing is what it appears to be.Duane Michals
How foolish of me to believe that it would be that easy. I had confused the appearance of trees and automobiles, and people with a reality itself, and believed that a photograph of these appearances to be a photograph of it. It is a melancholy truth that I will never be able to photograph it and can only fail. I am a reflection photographing other reflections within a reflection. To photograph reality is to photograph nothing.
Duane Michals
Trust that little voice in your head that says 'Wouldn't it be interesting if...'; And then do it.
Duane Michals
I think photographs should be provocative and not tell you what you already know. It takes no great powers or magic to reproduce somebody's face in a photograph. The magic is in seeing people in new ways.
