"f/8 and be there"

"After an hour or two at sea,
My Passport Photo looks like me!"

When I was in my printers office the other day, they have a poster up with the quote
"Voyeur: you capture light, the entrantress, and bend her to your likeness"
I loved it! Don't know who wrote it though - anyone heard it?

It's not so much a good quote on photography, but an amusing anecdote my brother saw on a photography shop window: "Hang the family, shoot the wife and blame the kids!"

To capture the essence in a single photograph is absurd. The essence is captured while photographing.
I just made that up.(I hope nobody else said that):)
