Response: I really agree with this quote due to my personal ideas. I believe if you are trying to capture a story or someone's image/ situation it's obviously because you find it captivating. The photograph may be staged but then it defeats the purpose. The photograph no longer becomes appealing and it loses interest. It's important to let the person whom you are capturing know why you are doing so and give them some authority.
#2 “My portraits are more about me than they are about the people I photograph.” ~Richard Avedon.
I find this quote completely brilliant and it gave me a new perspective. Early above I thought the importance was to capture the person's story rather than your own, which is find if that's your objective, but I feel different about that idea now. Photography is for your personal interest, you are the person doing the job. Through photography it can tell a lot about the photography which makes the photo all the more interesting. It's memorizing how it is interpreted and why.
#3 “You don't take a photograph, you make it.” ~Ansel Adams
I believe this quote to be true. Any photograph can be taken by anyone, the difficulty is making it connect to an audience. That's the beauty of photography. An amazing photographer will complete this goal.
#4 “All photographs are there to remind us of what we forget. In this - as in other ways - they are the opposite of paintings. Paintings record what the painter remembers. Because each one of us forgets different things, a photo more than a painting may change its meaning according to who is looking at it.” ~John Berger
I think photographs would be more reliable because in drawings it can be interpreted to someone's view or benefit. A photograph would capture everything from a moment without changing the situation.
