You don't take a photograph, you make it.

I can't verbalize the internal meaning of pictures whatsoever. Some of my friends can at very mystical levels, but I prefer to say that, if I feel something strongly, I would make a photograph, that would be the equivalent of what I saw and felt.

I think we can not categorize. Things do not fit into a mold.

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

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

All I can do in my writing is to stimulate a certain amount of thought, clarify some technical facts and date my work. But when I preach sharpness, brilliancy, scale, etc., I am just mouthing words, because no words can really describe those terms and qualities it takes the actual print to say, “here it is.

Landscape photography is the supreme test of the photographer - and often the supreme disappointment.
