Dorothea Lange

The artist sees what is invisible to others.

In order to see, one must first believe.

Photography must be a handmaiden to the truth.

I was born with a camera in my hand.

The migrant people, scuttling like animals from one bad place to another.

All I know is what I see through my lens.

Life simplifies when you let go.

The camera doesn't lie, but the photographer might.

Seeing is believing, but photographing is knowing.

I photograph to communicate.

The human face is the most beautiful landscape.

Poverty is a state of mind as much as circumstance.

Every picture tells a story, if you listen.

I don't chase the picture; it chases me.

Truth is in the details.

The lens is my eye to the world.

Suffering is universal; compassion is choice.

A good photograph is like a good hound dog: it goes right to the heart.

I learned to see by photographing.

The forgotten are the most important.
