More Quotes By Alfred Eisenstaedt
All photographers have to do, is find and catch the story-telling moment.
When I have a camera in my hand, I know no fear.
I dream that someday the step between my mind and my finger will no longer be needed. And that simply by blinking my eyes, I shall make pictures. Then, I think, I shall really have become a photographer.

We are only beginning to learn what to say in a photograph. The world we live in is a succession of fleeting moments, any one of which might say something significant.
