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

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

I have a vision of life, and I try to find equivalents for it in the form of photographs.

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.

The ability to make a truly artistic photograph is not acquired off-hand, but is the result of an artistic instinct coupled with years of labor.

If you place the imperfect next to the perfect, people will see the difference between the one and the other. But if you offer the imperfect alone, people are only too apt to be satisfied by it.

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