Peter C Bunnell quotes
-
“Each image suggests an inner reality, a kind of scar of the past, a reflection of an act or an event once lived.”
-- Peter C Bunnell -
“You see in the photograph what you are.”
-- Peter C Bunnell -
“In a sense, photographs are highly literary, and the photographer, like the writer, has to be both a master of craft and a visionary. Patient accumulation of facts and then speculation about their meaning is the nature of authorship in both mediums.”
-- Peter C Bunnell -
“In photography, the issue of the integration of form and content is exceptionally difficult because of the widely held belief that photographs must be a kind of vicarious experience of the subject itself.”
-- Peter C Bunnell -
-
“The nineteenth-century way of looking at the photograph was as a mirror for the memory, and at that time the photographs almost looked like mirrors, with their polished metallic surfaces.”
-- Peter C Bunnell -
“Full-color images lack the poignancy of monochrome... Black-and-white film inherently peels off interesting images from the world; it sees things we do not see, and thus insists on the existence of a phantom presence within reality, a world we cannot perceive.”
-- Peter C Bunnell -
“Photographs freed from the scientific bias can, and indeed usually do, have double meanings, implied meanings, unintended meanings, can hint and insinuate, and may even mean the opposite of what they apparently mean.”
-- Peter C Bunnell
-
“Reflection is the lamp of the heart. If it departs, the heart will have no light.”
-
“One of the saddest things in life, is the things one remembers.”
-
“All our first movements are good, generous, heroical; reflection weakens and kills them.”
-
“What we have done in the past is not sufficient now to prepare our youth.”
-
“Action is the only reality; not only reality, but morality as well.”
