But I would like to share them with you. “The two most engaging powers of a photograph are to make new things familiar and familiar things new.” – William Thackeray “I really believe there are things nobody would see if I didn’t photograph them.” – Diane Arbus “A good snapshot keeps a moment from running away.”  – Eudora Welty “When you photograph a face… you photograph the soul behind it.” – Jean-Luc Godard “Which of my photographs is my favorite? The one I’m going to take tomorrow.” – Imogen Cunningham   vintage cameras
