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

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

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.

Technically perfect, pictorially rotten. (Stieglitz's standard comment on photographs he rejected for publication in The American Amateur Photographer.)

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

The goal of art was the vital expression of self.

Before the people at large, and for that matter, the artists themselves, understand what photography really means, as I understand that term, it is essential for them to be taught the real meaning of art.
