No one can do inspired work without genuine interest in his subject and understanding of its characteristics.

Experience has shown that the more fascinating the subject, the less observant the photographer.

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

As an amateur you have an advantage over photographers - you can do as you wish... This should make amateurs the happiest of photographers.

Realism and superrealism are what I'm after. This world is full of things the eye doesn't see. The camera can see more, and often 10 times better.

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

Any good photograph is a successful synthesis of technique and art.
