Famous quotes containing the word bailey:

    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 (b. 1938)
