- It takes a lot of imagination to be a good photographer. You need
less imagination to be a painter because you can invent things. But
in photography everything is so ordinary; it takes a lot of looking
before you learn to see the extraordinary.

David Bailey

I disagree that one requires more or less imagination than the other.
 In both cases it's all about what you see inside your head as much as
what's outside.

If this is the same David Bailey as on

his work is gorgeous.

Concerning the topic LIMITATIONS OF PHOTOGRAPHY:

- It takes a lot of imagination to be a good photographer.  You need
less imagination to be a painter, because you can invent things.
But in photography everything is so ordinary; it takes a lot of
looking before you learn to see the ordinary.

David Bailey

A photographer met God.

"Please turn your head a little to the left," said the photographer.

"But I'm God!"

"I don't care who you are, Your Omnipotence.  Back lighting is bad."

Hahaha! That would make a great question to ask photographers: How
would you photograph God?

Here's the quote from {50}:

A photographer went to a socialite party in New York. As he entered
the front door, the host said, "I love your pictures -- they're
wonderful; you must have a fantastic camera." He said nothing until
dinner was finished, then: "That was a  wonderful dinner; you must
have a terrific stove."
