With photography, everything is in the eye and these days i feel young photographers are missing the point a bit. people always ask about cameras but it doesn't matter what camera you have. you can have the most modern camera in the world but if you don't have an eye, the camera is worthless. young people know more about modern cameras and lighting than i do. when i started out in photography i didn't own an exposure meter - i couldn't , they didn't exist! i had to guess.

More From Alfred Eisenstaedt

I don’t use an exposure meter. my personal advice is: spend the money you would put into such an instrument for film. buy yards of film, miles of it. buy all the film you can get your hands on. and then experiment with it.that is the only way to be successful in photography. test, try, experiment, feel your way along. it is the experience, not technique, which counts in camera work first of all. if you get the feel of photography, you can take fifteen pictures while one of your opponents is trying out his exposure meter.

I've been doing photography in one form or another for, oh golly, over seventy years. i don't carry cameras. i used to. for many years i carried cameras wherever i went. photograph whatever i saw that was of interest. in the last years, i've only used cameras to explore thematic ideas which presented themselves first. and then bring out the cameras to try to explore that idea.

...nameless, unknown to me as you were, i couldn't forget your voice!' 'for how long?' 'o - ever so long. days and days.' 'days and days! only days and days? o, the heart of a man! days and days!' 'but, my dear madam, i had not known you more than a day or two. it was not a full-blown love - it was the merest bud - red, fresh, vivid, but small. it was a colossal passion in embryo. it never returned.

Anthropology... has always been highly dependent upon photography... as the use of still photography - and moving pictures - has become increasingly essential as a part of anthropological methods, the need for photographers with a disciplined knowledge of anthropology and for anthropologists with training in photography has increased. we expect that in the near future sophisticated training in photography will be a requirement for all anthropologists. (1962)

Young sally owens: he will hear my call a mile away. he will whistle my favorite song. he can ride a pony backwards. young gillian owens: what are you doing? young sally owens: summoning up a true love spell called amas veritas. he can flip pancakes in the air. he'll be marvelously kind. and his favorite shape will be a star. and he'll have one green eye and one blue. young gillian owens: thought you never wanted to fall in love. young sally owens: that's the point. the guy i dreamed of doesn't exist. and if he doesn't exist i'll never die of a broken heart.

I hate cameras. i hate cameras and i hate camera phones. the camera's my worst enemy and my best friend. it's the way i convey my emotions to the world without saying a word, so i use it. people always say, 'you come alive as soon as the camera's on!'

Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.

My act is so completely and totally uncensored that the only way i could really pull it off is if i treat the audience like they're my best friends.

I love all my characters. i love their weaknesses and flaws. i feel like they're all my best friends and i adore being with them.

Can anyone remember love? it's like trying to summon up the smell of roses in a cellar. you might see a rose, but never the perfume.
