It is no longer a matter of expressing reality, but of expressing what one feels about reality.

However, I must stress that my own interest is immediate and in the picture. What I am conscious of and what I feel is the picture I am making, the relation of that picture to others I have made and, more generally, its relation to others I have experienced.

Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving.

If you look very intensely and slowly things will happen that you never dreamed of before.

The only nature I'm interested in is my own nature.

In any art, you don't know in advance what you want to say - it's revealed to you as you say it. That's the difference between art and illustration.

I may be wrong, but the essential illustrative nature of most documentary photography, and the worship of the object per se, in our best nature photography, is not enough to satisfy the man of today, compounded as he is of Christ, Freud, and Marx.
