There are many schools of painting. Why should there not be many schools of photographic art? There is hardly a right and a wrong in these matters, but there is truth, and that should form the basis of all works of art.

If you can imagine photography in the guise of a woman and you’d ask her what she thought of Stieglitz, she’d say: He always treated me like a gentleman.

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

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.

My cloud photographs are equivalents of my most profound life experiences, my basic philosophy of life. All art is an equivalent of the artist’s most profound life experiences.

The arts equally have distinct departments, and unless photography has its own possibilities of expression, separate from those of the other arts, it is merely a process, not an art.
