I’d like to think that the actions we take today will allow others in the future to discover the wonders of landscapes we helped protect but never had the chance to enjoy ourselves.

At my Rolling Stones' tour, the camera was a protection. I used it in a Zen way.

Most people, especially successful people, are hard-working. They want to participate. They want to do things well.

In a portrait, you have room to have a point of view. The image may not be literally what's going on, but it's representative.

Everyone keeps asking you for pictures, and after a while you get tired of that. I always say, They are in the archives.

The first thing I did with my very first camera was climb Mt. Fuji. Climbing Mt. Fuji is a lesson in determination and moderation. It would be fair to ask if I took the moderation part to heart. But it certainly was a lesson in respecting your camera. If I was going to live with this thing, I was going to have to think about what that meant. There were not going to be any pictures without it.

I shoot a little bit, maybe two rolls, medium format, which is 20 pictures, and if it's not working, I change the position.
