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

A work is not art until enough noise has been made about it and someone rich comes along and buys it.

The goal of art was the vital expression of self.

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.

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

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.

Photography as a fad is well-nigh on its last legs, thanks principally to the bicycle craze.
