It is not art in the professionalized sense about which I care, but that which is created sacredly, as a result of a deep inner experience, with all of oneself, and that becomes 'art' in time.

The scene fascinated me: a round straw hat; the funnel leaning left, the stairway leaning right; the white drawbridge, its railings made of chain; white suspenders crossed on the back of a man below; circular iron machinery; a mast that cut into the sky, completing a triangle.

Photography is my passion.

I do not object to retouching, dodging or accentuation as long as they do not interfere with the natural qualities of photographic technique.

A work is not art until enough noise has been made about it and someone rich comes along and buys it.

As a matter of fact, nearly all the greatest work is being, and has always been done, by those who are following photography for the love of it, and not merely for financial reasons. As the name implies, an amateur is one who works for love.

I am not a painter, nor an artist. Therefore I can see straight, and that may be my undoing.
