Knowing what I know now, any photographer worth his salt could make some beautiful things with pinhole cameras.

In my mind's eye, I visualize how a particular... sight and feeling will appear on a print. If it excites me, there is a good chance it will make a good photograph. It is an intuitive sense, an ability that comes from a lot of practice.

Photography and photographers have an inevitable development. They progress more or less by steps. Every five or ten years some new point of view is developed and young people are inclined to follow it.

We all move on the fringes of eternity and are sometimes granted vistas through fabric of illusion.

There still is some opposition to it in some museums and art schools, but I think photography has really grown into a mature art form.

The only things in my life that compatibly exists with this grand universe are the creative works of the human spirit.

All art is the expression of one and the same thing- the relation of the spirit of man to the spirit of other men and to the world.
