To the vast majority of people a photograph is an image of something within their direct experience: a more-or-less factual reality. It is difficult for them to realize that the photograph can be the source of experience, as well as the reflection of spiritual awareness of the world and of self.

I have often had a retrospective vision where everything in my past life seems to fall with significance into logical sequence.

A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed.

A good photograph is knowing where to stand.

I’m interested in something which is built up from within, rather than just extracted from without.

The camera cannot, but the photographer can.

Photographers and artists contribute a lot to the world and have a right to exist in relative security and comfort.
