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

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.

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

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.

The goal of art was the vital expression of self.

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.

Everything is relative except relatives, and they are absolute.
