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.

For that is the power of the camera: seize the familiar and give it new meanings, a special significance by the mark of a personality.

All I want is to preserve that wonderful something which so purely exists between us.

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

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.

All art, like all love, is rooted in heartache.

Several people feel I have photographed God. May be.
