- Gary: Art is creating something out of nothing. You know? Photos are creating something out of something. You know? How is that art? I mean, how is that a Mona Lisa?
- Arturo: The most important rules are, to be in the moment, and don't take a picture that doesn't make you feel anything.
- Arturo: When it comes to people, you have to remember, they make for the most interesting subjects, but you've got to make them look good, or they'll hate you for it.
- Gary: To be a professional photographer, you guys, you gotta do something different. Do something bold. Right? You can't keep taking the same photos everyone else is taking.
- Arturo: Everyone knows what photography is, but no one agrees on art. A lot of people don't even think photography is art.
- Antoine: The figure-ground juxtaposed against itself as a black and white really works... even from a nonlinear perspective.
- Antoine: Ok, I'll play. You're manipulating space and time. I can exist as a spectator here, you the participant there. Or, are you there? Expressing unconscious thoughts in two dimensions while pretending to be in three. You're tainting your whole reality into a fiction... which it is.
- Gary: The pockets of light just... pounding on those leaves, and curling up the edges, and under the bare naked branch is left out... exposed, like the bones... of our soul. God! I see what you did. I mean, this is... this is a statement, about the human condition.
- Gary: That is the sound, ladies and gentlemen, that you hear when you know you've taken a particularly good photograph. Seriously, this... this is eh... this is more than a photograph. I mean, this is a statement, about society.
- Gary: You know, I keep regular office hours, just downstairs. Normally a late night... six to nine. Yeah, I like to hang out for a little bit. If you don't like to sit in a stuffy office though, I mean my condominium is only about two blocks away. It's gorgeous! Glass wall overlooking the water.
- Gary: To be a professional photographer, you guys, you gotta do something... different. Do something bold. Right? You can't keep taking the same photos everyone else is taking.
- Gary: Um... it's ok, I mean, it was a good attempt. Ya know, you'll get there someday but, next time ya know, really build a relationship with what you're gonna do. Okay? You wanna be an artist, you have to do the work.
- Gary: A photograph like this, if you're really gonna a make a bold choice to do something, like you tried to do... you really want to get to know your subject. You wanna build a relationship with them. I mean, if you don't, it just kinda comes off... voyeuristic... a little bit.
