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.

Photographers - idiots, of which there are so many - say, "Oh, if only I had a Nikon or a Leica, I could make great photographs." That's the dumbest thing I ever heard in my life. It's nothing but a matter of seeing, and thinking, and interest.

A photographer who does not know how to translate his feelings and ideas into a graphically satisfactory form is bound to produce ineffective photographs, no matter how idealistic, compassionate, sensitive or imaginative he may be. For in order to be considered good, a photograph must not only say something worthwhile, it must say it well.

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

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

Don't look for "depth" but instead search for subject aspects which prove the presence of depth.

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