Coming tight was boring to me, just the face... it didn't have enough information.

...I gave up on being a journalist - I thought having a point of view was more important than being objective.

I am impressed with what happens when someone stays in the same place and you took the same picture over and over and it would be different, every single frame.

Nature is so powerful, so strong. It takes you to a place within yourself.

I fight to take a good photograph every single time.

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

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.
