I believe that photography loves banal objects, and I love the life of objects. ~ Josef Sudek

FYI, Juha is referring to the quote found in the civilized ku # 2010 entry.
my response: I do read a lot - books (fiction, non-fiction, photography related), periodicals, and the like - not just photography related stuff. With all of that reading, it's not at all difficult to amass quite a number of quotable quotes. Many of the quotes I like are tabbed in books and periodicals for easy future reference. I also keep a digital domain quote file comprised mainly of quotes I have found online.
A surprising number of quotes from this collection do stick in my head. Although, true be told, those stickies are rarely recalled verbatim and, when I wish to use them in print/online, I must look them up in order to get them right.
The real trick is not remembering the quotes, it's remembering where to find them when I need to reference them.

Man, that orange really pops off the page... just like the florescent orange that it is. Who knew that florescent was with-in the sRGB color gambit?
And these 3 recent quotes work really well with the images... including the earlier post with the quote from Sir Ansel. Where do you find them? Is your brain capable of recalling such things from the volumes you must have read?
