"From My Window" Photo Contest

Capture the world from the window of your quarantine during the coronavirus pandemic.

“Photography is the art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place.”

I've realized that it has little to do with the things you see and a lot to do with how you see them. Elliott Erwitt

“For me, photography is the spontaneous impulse of perpetual visual attention, which captures the moment and its eternity.”

Of all the concepts in photography, there is surely none more famous than the celebrated “decisive moment,” a term coined by the French photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson.

“Photography helps people see”

“The challenge for me has been, first and foremost, to see things as they are—whether it’s a portrait, a city street, or a ball. In a word, I have tried to be objective. I don’t mean the objectivity of a machine, but that of a sensitive human being with her own mysterious and personal judgment. The second challenge has been to impose order on the things I see, to provide the visual context and intellectual framework—which, for me, is the art of photography.” Berenice Abbott

"A good photograph requires technique, positioning, and the ability to wait"

“A good photograph requires technique, positioning, and the ability to wait for that magical moment when the spark ignites and the image captures the essence of what’s happening.” Nacho González

"A photograph evokes as much emotion as music or dance does"

“Although frozen in time, a photograph evokes as much emotion as that which comes from music or dance. Whatever the medium—from a snapshot to the decisive moment in a multimedia montage—the intention and purpose of photography is to represent, in visual terms, feelings and experiences that words are often unable to describe. In any case, the eyes have it, and the imagination will always soar beyond what is expected.” Ralph Gibson

“There are no rules for good photographs—they’re just good photographs”

"In my mind's eye, I visualize a detail. The image and the feeling will come together in a single frame. If it excites me, there's a good chance it will make a good photograph. It's an intuitive sense, a skill that comes from a lot of practice." Ansel Adams

"To take a photo, I need to feel moved."

“Photography is a struggle. The enemy is time, and you win when you manage to freeze it at just the right moment, preventing something that speaks to you and to what is happening from dying and disappearing forever.” Cristina García Rodero

“Photography is a secret within a secret. The more it reveals, the less you know.”

“The act of taking a photograph involves a certain precision, a certain intensity that we generally do not subject ourselves to—nor do we subject others to—in everyday life. We are more forgiving of others. The camera, on the other hand, is cold and harsh.”

Diane Arbus
