Shutter Quotes
Look and think before opening the shutter. The heart and mind are the true lens of the camera.
Yousuf Karsh
Charlotte, having seen his body Borne before her on a shutter, Like a well-conducted person, Went on cutting bread and butter.
William Makepeace Thackeray
A slight sound at evening lifts me up by the ears, and makes life seem inexpressibly serene and grand. It may be Uranus, or it may be in the shutter.
Henry David Thoreau

Marshall McLuhan
When hopes and dreams are loose in the streets, it is well for the timid to lock doors, shutter windows and lie low until the wrath has passed. For there is often a monstrous incongruity between the hopes, however noble and tender, and the action which follows them. It is as if ivied maidens and garlanded youths were to herald the four horsemen of the apocalypse.
Eric Hoffer

Matthew Modine
I had thought, seeing how bitter is that wind That shakes the shutter, to have brought to mind All those that manhood tried, or childhood loved Or boyish intellect approved, With some appropriate commentary on each; Until imagination brought A fitter welcome; but a thought Of that late death took all my heart for speech.
William Butler Yeats
You must photograph where you are involved; where you are overwhelmed by what you see before you; where you hold your breath while releasing the shutter, not because you are afraid of jarring the camera, but because you are seeing with your guts wide open to the sweet pain of an image that is part of your life.
Harold Feinstein
In the early days of picture-taking, the exposure shutter had to stay open for a long time, so you had to stay really still.
Eve Plumb
Photographs aren't accounts of scrutiny. The shutter is open for a fraction of a second.
David Hockney
When that shutter clicks, anything else that can be done afterward is not worth consideration.
Edward Steichen
If the soul of Roman Catholicism is to be found in partisan politics, then it's probably time to shutter up the chapel.
Dana Gioia
