The best zoom lens is your legs.
A picture is the expression of an impression. If the beautiful were not in us, how would we ever recognize it?
You donโt take pictures, the good ones happen to you.
Don't ever over-analyze your results. Don't ever try to find your own secret or the one which you admire. One does not try to catch soap bubbles. One enjoys them in flight and is grateful for their fluid existence.
Beware of direct inspiration. It leads too quickly to repetitions of what inspired you.
Living in a time of the increasing struggle of the mechanization of man, photography has become another example of this paradoxical problem of how to humanize, how to overcome a machine on which we are thoroughly dependent... the camera.
