In photography there is a reality so subtle that it becomes more real than reality.

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

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.

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.

Photography is my passion.

To demand the portrait that will be a complete portrait of a person is as futile as to demand that a motion picture be condensed into a single still.
