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.

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.

Several people feel I have photographed God. May be.

When I make a picture, I make love.

All I want is to preserve that wonderful something which so purely exists between us.

I detest tradition for tradition's sake; the half-alive; that which is not real. I feel no hatred of individuals, but of customs, traditions; superstitions that go against life, against truth, against the reality of experience, against the spontaneous living out of the sense of wonder-of fresh experience, freshly seen and communicated.

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