A technically perfect photograph can be the world's most boring picture.

Before you shoot an irresistible subject, mute all your senses except sight to find out how much is left for the camera to record.

A technically perfect photograph can be the world's most boring picture.

Know - how is worthless unless guided by know - why and know - when.

What matters is not what you photograph, but why and how you photograph it. Even the most controversial subject, if depicted by a sensitive photographer with honesty, sympathy, and understanding, can be transformed into an emotionally rewarding experience.

Unless a subject interests me, I'll pass it over and save my film for better things.

Every successful photograph, except for lucky shots, begins with an idea and a plan. The more precisely a photographer knows what it is he wishes to do, the better the chances are that he will do it.
