Ernst Haas

“What you have caught on film is captured forever… it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.”

“I am not interested in shooting new things – I am interested to see things new.”

“The best camera is the one that's with you.”

“There is only you and your camera. The limitations in your photography are in yourself, for what we see is what we are.”

“Color is joy. One does not think about joy. One is carried by it.”

“The camera doesn't make a bit of difference. All of them can record what you are seeing. But, you have to SEE.”

“A picture is the expression of an impression. If the beautiful were not in us, how would we ever recognize it?”

“The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.”

“Style has no formula, but it has a secret key. It is the extension of your personality.”

“Seeing is not enough; you have to feel what you photograph.”

“Boredom is the biggest disease in the world, darling.”

“I am a citizen of the world. I have a passport and a camera. And I kill nothing.”

“The most important lens you have is your legs.”

“My theory of photography is that the camera is an extension of the eye, and the mind behind the eye.”

“I am a professional photographer because it is the best hobby in the world.”

“I am after the metamorphosis.”

“All I wanted was to connect my moods with the moods of the universe.”
