Duane Michals Quotes About Reality

Quotes about: Reality

• How foolish of me to believe that it would be that easy. I had confused the appearance of trees and automobiles, and people with a reality itself, and believed that a photograph of these appearances to be a photograph of it. It is a melancholy truth that I will never be able to photograph it and can only fail. I am a reflection photographing other reflections within a reflection. To photograph reality is to photograph nothing.

  Duane Michals

  Confused, Believe, Reflection

• To photograph reality is to photograph nothing.

  Duane Michals

  Reality, Photograph

• Photography does deal with 'truth' or a kind of superficial reality better than any of the other arts, but it never questions the nature of reality - it simply reproduces reality. And what good is that when the things of real value in life are invisible?

  Duane Michals

  Photography, Art, Real

• I believe in the invisible. I do not believe in the definitive reality of things around us. For me, reality is the intuition and the imagination and the quiet voice inside my head that says: isn't that extraordinary? The things in our lives are the shadows of reality, just as we ourselves are shadows.

  Duane Michals

  Believe, Reality, Quiet Voice
