Dette er websiden til Kolbotn fotoklubb.

Kolbotn fotoklubb er en liten, men aktiv klubb som har møtelokale i Kolbotn sentrum. Dette er en fotoklubb, ikke en kameraklubb. Vi er ganske bevisste på denne forskjellen. Hos oss er det bildet som er det sentrale, ikke kamera eller annet utstyr. Klubben er allsidig, og driver både med tradisjonelle, historiske og digitale metoder.

Noen sitater:

"90% of Photography is just being there...and the other 50% is having the right perspective..."
- unknown

There is nothing worse than a brilliant image of a fuzzy concept.
- Ansel Adams

Bad rich amateurs [photographers] think fuzzy B&W images of poor people are art.
- Ken Rockwell

"...a lot of photographers think that if they buy a better camera they'll be able to take better photographs. A better camera won't do a thing for you if you don't have anything in your head or in your heart".
- Arnold Newman

"I have discovered photography. Now I can kill myself. I have nothing else to learn".
- Pablo Picasso

"There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs."
- Ansel Adams

"Some people's photography is an art. Not mine. Art is a dirty word in photography. All this fine art crap is killing it already".
- Helmut Newton

"Et fotografi, er egentlig et ønske om å bevare øyeblikket, for så og dele det med andre".
- Lars Pihl

"A photographer's main instrument is his eyes. Strange as it may seem, many photographers choose to use the eyes of another photographer, past or present, instead of their own. Those photographers are blind".
- Manuel Alvarez Bravo

"Pictures, regardless of how they are created and recreated, are intended to be looked at. This brings to the forefront not the technology of imaging, which of course is important, but rather what we might call the eyenology (seeing)".
- Henri Cartier-Bresson

"Den sanne oppdagelsesreise består ikke i å finne nye landskap,
men å se med nye øyne ."
- Marcel Proust

"If your pictures aren't good enough,
Then you're not close enough."
- Robert Capa - Magnum

"There is no way to make a significant image
out of a negative that has no significance."
- John Sexton - American photographer

"Get close - then get closer."
- David Douglas-Duncan - War Photographer

"Our eye must constantly measure, evaluate. We alter our perspective by a slight bending of the knees; we convey the chance meeting of lines by a simple shifting of our heads a thousandth of an inch…. We compose almost at the same time we press the shutter, and in placing the camera closer or farther from the subject, we shape the details – taming or being tamed by them".
- Henri Cartier-Bresson

"Get back if you can't handle it."
- Charlie Madden - The Daily Express Editor

"Many pictures turn out to be limp translations of the known world instead of vital objects which create an intrinsic world of their own. There is a vast difference between taking a picture and making a photograph."
- Robert Heinecken

"Photography is just an Illusion of Reality"
- Arnold Newman

"Tanken var god, men fremføringen er elendig"
- Walter Rietig

"Stare, pry, listen, eavesdrop. Die knowing something. You are not here long."
- Walker Evans

"People who earn less than half of their income from photography are amateurs. This has nothing to do with the quality of their photography."
- Ken Rockwell

"...one is not really a photographer until preoccupation with learning has been outgrown and the camera in his hands is an extension of himself. There is where creativity begins."
- Carl Mydans

"A painter works with color as the medium, a photographer works with light. "
- Carlotta M. Corpron
