More From Lorrie Moore

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)
Photography Moving Training

loneliness is the human condition. cultivate it. the way it tunnels into you allows your soul room to grow. never expect to outgrow loneliness. never hope to find people who will understand you, someone to fill that space. an intelligent, sensitive person is the exception, the very great exception. if you expect to find people who will understand you, you will grow murderous with disappointment. the best you'll ever do is to understand yourself, know what it is that you want, and not let the cattle stand in your way.

Photography is very subjective. photography is not a document on which a report can be made. it is a subjective document. photography is a false witness, a lie.
Photography Lying Made
Photography today is accomplishing a lofty mission in which every german should collaborate by buying a camera. the german people is ahead of every other in the technical domain and, thanks to its exceptional qualities, the small camera has conquered the whole world... much is at stake here from the point of view of popular consumer goods and, furthermore, photography has a particularly important political role to play. (addressing the berlin photography fair, 1933)

The history of photography needs clearing out. it needs something else now. because photography always acknowledged there were cameras before photography.
Photography Clearing Out Cameras
I have problems with a lot of photography, particularly street photography and photojournalism - objectifying the other, finding the contempt and exoticism that you might feel within yourself or toward yourself and projecting it out to others. there can be an abusive power to photography, too.
Photography Might Objectifying
Similar Quotes
"though many painters and sculptors talk glibly of "going in for photography," you will find that very few of them can ever make a picture by photography; they lack the science, technical knowledge, and above all the practice. most people think they can play tennis, shoot, write novels, and photograph as well as any other person - until they try."
Photography Writing Thinking
I make photographs and still make photographs of the natural environment. it's a love because that was part of my life before i was involved in photography.
Photography Love Is Environment
Even a fellow with a camera has his favourite subjects, as we can see looking through the kodak-albums of our friends. one amateur prefers the family group, another bathing scenes, another cows upon an alp, or kittens held upside down in the arms of a black-faced child. the tendency to choose one subject rather than another indicates the photographer's temperament. nevertheless, his passion is for photography rather than for selection, a kitten will serve when no cows are available.

You don't study photography, you just do it.
