I believe photography is a tool to express our positive assessment of the world. A tool to acquire ultimate happiness and belief.

You don't make a photograph just with a camera

Art is both the taking and giving of beauty, the turning out to the light of the inner folds of the awareness of the spirit.

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

Now there is a big turnover in the galleries. The top galleries are getting better all the time. A lot of galleries just struggle along, then a new one comes along. There are certainly a great number of galleries. I think this argues well for the art but there are, of course, a lot of "phonies" in all the arts.

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

The [35mm] camera is for life and for people, the swift and intense moments of life.
