Ernst Haas quotes

I am not interested in shooting new things - I am interested to see things new. (Ernst Haas)
There is only you and your camera. The limitations in your photography are in yourself, for what we see is what we are. View quote
Ernst Haas
A picture is the expression of an impression. If the beautiful were not in us, how would we ever recognize it? View quote
Ernst Haas
With photography a new language has been created. Now for the first time it is possible to express reality by reality. We can look at an impression as long as we wish, we can delve into it and, so to speak, renew past experiences at will. View quote
Ernst Haas
Leica, schmeica. The camera doesn't make a bit of difference. All of them can record what you are seeing. But you have to see. View quote
Ernst Haas
All I wanted was to connect my moods with those of Paris. Beauty pains and when it pained most, I shot. View quote
Ernst Haas
Best wide-angle lens? Two steps backward. Look for the 'ah-ha'. View quote
Ernst Haas
Without touching my subject I want to come to the moment when, through pure concentration of seeing, the composed picture becomes more made than taken. Without a descriptive caption to justify its existence, it will speak for itself - less descriptive, more creative; less informative, more suggestive - less prose, more poetry. View quote
