Harry Callahan photographed his wife Eleanor for fifteen years — in the water, in the street, in the light coming through a doorway. #photographer #blackandwhite

What season are you worst at photographing? #photographer #blackandwhite
Bernd and Hilla Becher photographed water towers for forty years, always under the same flat grey sky, always from the same distance. #photographer #blackandwhite
When did you last photograph something with no intention of showing it to anyone? #photographer #blackandwhite
Josef Sudek photographed the window of his Prague studio for years — the same glass, mostly in bad weather. He worked with one arm. #photographer #blackandwhite
Sally Mann photographed her own family on her own land, for decades. You don't have to go far. You have to stay. #photographer #blackandwhite
Walked the whole loop yesterday and came back with an empty card. Slept better than I have all week. #photographer #blackandwhite
How many frames from this year have you actually printed? #photographer #blackandwhite
Michael Kenna prints small. Postcard-sized, some of them. You have to lean in, and leaning in is the whole invitation. #photographer #blackandwhite
A heron was standing exactly where I wanted the horizon. I waited it out. It waited better than I did. #photographer #blackandwhite
Who taught you to look? Not to shoot. To look. #photographer #blackandwhite
Vivian Maier never showed the work to anyone. Whatever reason we have for posting, hers was something else entirely — and the pictures are still here. #photographer #blackandwhite
There's a frame from March I've opened maybe forty times and never done anything with. I don't think it's unfinished. I think I am. #photographer #blackandwhite
That folder from last winter you never opened again — it's aged well, I promise. Distance is a better editor than mood. Open it tonight. #photographer #blackandwhite
Wind is the condition nobody photographs on purpose. But it's what puts the grain in the water and the lean in the grass — proof the place was moving while you stood still. #photographer #blackandwhite
Hiroshi Sugimoto has photographed the sea for fifty years, and every frame is half sky, half water. The subject wore away and left only the looking. #photographer #blackandwhite
