My ideal is to achieve the ability to produce numberless prints from each negative, prints all significantly alive, yet indistinguishably alike, and to be able to circulate them at a price not higher than that of a popular magazine, or even a daily paper. To gain that ability there has been no choice but to follow the road I have chosen.

My aim is increasingly to make my photographs look so much like photographs [rather than paintings, etchings, etc.] that unless one has eyes and sees, they won't be seen - and still everyone will never forget having once looked at them.

My photographs are a picture of the chaos in the world, and of my relationship to that chaos. My prints show the world’s constant upsetting of man’s equilibrium, and his eternal battle to reestablish it.

Photographers must learn not to be ashamed to have their photographs look like photographs.

There is nothing so wrong as accepting a thing merely because men who have done things say it should be so.

Utopia is in the moment. Not in some future time, some other place, but in the here and now, or else it is nowhere.

Photography my passion, the search for truth, my obsession.
