Some photographers take reality... and impose the domination of their own thought and spirit. Others come before reality more tenderly and a photograph to them is an instrument of love and revelation.

When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.

I never know in advance what I will photograph,...I Go Out into the World and Hope I Will come across something that Imperatively interests me. I Am Addicted to the Found object. I have No doubt that I Will Continue to make Photographs till my last Breath.

Emphasis on technique is justified only so far as it will simplify and clarify the statement of the photographer's concept.

The camera cannot, but the photographer can.

With all art expression, when something is seen, it is a vivid experience, sudden, compelling, and inevitable.

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