“When it comes to the artistic value of images and proclamations of self importance, let me be very blunt: where there is no artist, there is no art. No matter how beautiful or powerful the feats of nature you photograph, if all you do is record them using photographic media without introducing your own sensibilities into the final product, they are not art!
Your images should provide viewers with an experience they could not have had, and would never have seen or felt, if it were not for your sharing it with them.”Guy Tal, (http://guytal.com/wordpress/2011/05/dont-be-an-idiot/)

"Photography is an art and a craft. Getting better at both requires practice—lots of practice. The Daily Shoot is a simple daily routine to motivate and inspire you to practice your photography, and share your results! It’s not a contest and there are no prizes. It's simply about encouraging you to pick up your camera and make photographs.
That's it. There aren't any other rules. You aren't going to get demerits if you miss a few days, nor will you get gold stars for doing every assignment. We're just here to help you with a little nudge every day. The rest is up to you!"The Daily Shoot, (http://dailyshoot.com/)

"The intelligent, polite and talented DS photographers expand my creativity by showing so many possible good approaches to the same photographic problem.
Commenting on other photos and having my own photos commented on is yet another enhancement to the learning.”John King, (http://flickr.com/photos/johnking/)

"Daily shoot has really forced me to look more closely at my world and experiment more with my photography. I am trying different angles, lighting and composition. By shooting everyday, I am also able to see when I fall into a rut or a pattern thus forcing me to try new things.”Jabiz Raisdana, (http://flickr.com/photos/intrepidflame/)

"'Forcing' yourself to take a photo every day means you have your camera with you at all times and you start to look at objects and events with a more artful eye. I find it that I frame shots in my head even if I am not going to actually press the shutter button.
I have always loved photography but this kind of project actually made me fall in love with photography all over again.”Audrey Williams, (http://flickr.com/photos/ajwms/)

“I remember walking around campus that day thinking about preparedness, looking for preparedness, wondering what preparedness was. No luck.
That evening, though, I was thinking about how Leatherman’s were an example of preparedness, and then I remembered an old pocketknife my grandfather had given me.
I tried to think of how I could make it interesting. It needed… atmosphere. It needed… lighting. But just shooting it with a flash turned out bland, so I figured out how to get the flash focused on a small area of the scene (it’s called a snoot).
It’s clear, I think, that absent the constraint of needing to take a certain kind of picture that night, I probably wouldn’t have ever headed down the path which resulted in the picture, nor would I have gained further practice in photography.”Galagon Wagon, (http://galagonwagon.com/2011/02/the-daily-shoot-and-creativity/)

“Despite knowing that photographing water is difficult, I walked around our campus after school looking for it; I should have been looking for liquids. Then I saw it.
Beautiful, dense, thick buckets of mud. A blend of earth and water and gas and everything mushed together. I have always loved mud, so with great pleasure I snapped a round of shots. I am glad I didn't go with a more traditional glistening form of liquid, and I tried something a bit different.” Jabiz Raisdana, (http://intrepidflame.blogspot.com/2011/01/state-of-matter.html)

“The assignment’s taken me on some pretty unexpected adventures. Almost everyday I’ve started with a completely different idea (or no idea) of what I was going to photograph, then stumbled upon something extraordinary. It’s forced me to think about things in new ways and it’s shown me that sometimes it’s easier to make art when you take a more hands-on approach and don’t overthink it.” Matt Martin, (http://blog.electrovert.net/?p=69)
