"Light makes photography. Embrace light. Admire it. Love it. But above all, know light. Know it for all you are worth, and you will know the key to photography." - George Eastman

"There is only you and your camera. The limitations in your photography are in yourself, for what we see is what we are." - George Eastman

"To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them." - George Eastman

"Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever... it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything." - George Eastman

"Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still." - George Eastman

"What we do during our working hours determines what we have; what we do in our leisure hours determines what we are." - George Eastman
