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

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

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.

As a matter of fact, nearly all the greatest work is being, and has always been done, by those who are following photography for the love of it, and not merely for financial reasons. As the name implies, an amateur is one who works for love.

All art, like all love, is rooted in heartache.

Beautiful dreams - if the world were more beautiful they would come true - But the world is relentless & cruel - people are - they must be, I suppose, or they could not live.

The goal of art was the vital expression of self.
