#8-“My portraits are more about me than they are about the people I photograph.” ~Richard Avedon.
I agree with this for the fact that I think the people or personality expressed is brought out by the photographer. The photographer can have the ability to make the person they are photographing feel more comfortable. By doing this it is somewhat of a reflection of the photographer.
#9-“You don't take a photograph, you make it.” ~Ansel Adams
Considering I generally set up my photos and orchestrate what I want to happen, I agree with this more. I feel like in order to obtain a quality photo you need to make it to be what you envision. Everyone has cameras and takes photos these days, but the more artistic ones take effort.
#10-“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 totally agree. Due to the vast differences in peoples life experiences, everything viewed can affect or have a different meaning. One relationship can mean more or be felt differently than another and therefore photos of those memories will also have a differing affect.
