She (Francesca Johnson) noticed he’d said making pictures. You make pictures, not take them? Yes. At least that’s how I think of it. That’s the difference between Sunday snapshooters and someone who does it for a living. When I’m finished with that bridge we saw today, it won’t look quite like you expect. I’ll have made it into something of my own, by lens choice, or camera angle, or general composition and most likely by some combination of all of those. I don’t just take things as given; I try to make them into something that reflects my personal consciousness, my spirit. I try to find the poetry in the image. - Photographer Robert Kincaid in The Bridges of Madison County, by Robert James Waller
