Leonard Nimoy quotes - page 2

Most of my images have been done in-studio, under very controlled lighting conditions. There have been a few that have been shot in nature, but even then they were shot almost exclusively at night, and again, under controlled lighting conditions. (Leonard Nimoy)
I deal with this spiritual issue every day - either shooting or processing or sorting or discussing or having conversations - I'm in constant contact with it. View quote
Leonard Nimoy
But if you're talking about fine art work, then I think you have to ask yourself some pretty deep questions about why it is you want to take pictures and what it is you want to say. View quote
Leonard Nimoy
Which is probably the reason why I work exclusively in black and white... to highlight that contrast. View quote
Leonard Nimoy
I certainly don't live in a kosher home although I was raised in a kosher environment. View quote
Leonard Nimoy
The book tour has been really interesting and very gratifying. I have not book toured before. I've never had quite as much pleasure, as much satisfaction. View quote
Leonard Nimoy
I became hooked on the idea of being able to shoot an image and process it myself, and end up with a product. View quote
Leonard Nimoy
Years ago - in the 70s, for about a decade - I carried a camera every place I went. And I shot a lot of pictures that were still life and landscape, using available light. View quote
Leonard Nimoy
I became involved in photography when I was about thirteen years old. View quote
Leonard Nimoy
Other times, you're doing some piece of work and suddenly you get feedback that tells you that you have touched something that is very alive in the cosmos. View quote
Leonard Nimoy
You know, for a long time I have been of the opinion that artists don't necessarily know what they're doing. You don't necessarily know what kind of universal concept you're tapping into. (Leonard Nimoy)
After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing after all as wanting. It is not logical, but is often true. View quote
Leonard Nimoy
My memory of those places is better than my pictures. That's why I get much more satisfaction out of shooting thematic work that has to do with an idea that I'm searching for, or searching to express. View quote
Leonard Nimoy
For me it's all about personal vision; is there something about a subject that uniquely speaks to me. View quote
Leonard Nimoy
I've been working with photography for many years. View quote
Leonard Nimoy
I'm attracted to images that come from a personal exploration of a subject matter. When they have a personal stamp to them, then I think it becomes identifiable. View quote
Leonard Nimoy
This time, there have been a lot of interesting discussion about the subject matter and I've had a good time talking about it. And in some of the cases, I'm not just signing books; I'm showing slides and talking about the work. View quote
Leonard Nimoy
That's the most difficult issue for me... to find a subject that holds my interest long enough that I'm prepared to go to work and spend the time and energy to shoot the subject. View quote
Leonard Nimoy

Leonard Nimoy
Age is not a problem. It's only a number. View quote

I am not Spock. (Leonard Nimoy)
I did not move into developing or processing color. I stayed with black and white. I still think to this day that I prefer to work in black and white if it has to do with poetry or anything other than specific reality. I have worked in color when I thought it was the appropriate way to express the thought that I was working on. View quote
Leonard Nimoy
I began working with a family camera. It was called a Kodak Autographic, which was one of those things where you flopped it open and pulled out the bellows. And I've been at it ever since; I've never stopped. View quote
Leonard Nimoy
I have a master's degree in photography as a fine art, and I would call my work primarily conceptual. I don't carry cameras with me wherever I go. I get an idea of a subject matter I want to deal with and I pull out my cameras. View quote
Leonard Nimoy
I'm not an equipment nut. I tend to use whatever's to hand. I have several cameras, of course, but I'm not emotional about any of them. View quote
