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

My aim is increasingly to make my photographs look so much like photographs [rather than paintings, etchings, etc.] that unless one has eyes and sees, they won't be seen - and still everyone will never forget having once looked at them.

Wherever there is light, one can photograph.

I am not a painter, nor an artist. Therefore I can see straight, and that may be my undoing.

The fight for photography became my life.

We had many books and pictures... my parents' way of life doubtless left a lasting impression on me. They created an atmosphere in which a certain kind of freedom could exist. This may well account for my seeking a related sense of liberty as I grew up.

Several people feel I have photographed God. May be.
