A photograph is not an accident - is a concept. It exists at, or before, the moment of exposure of the negative.

I am always surprised when I see several cameras, a gaggle on lenses, filters, meters, et cetera, rattling around in a soft bag with a complement of refuse and dust. Sometimes the professional is the worst offender!

The (photographic) negative is the equivalent of the composers score and the print is the equivalent of the conductors performance.

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

...one sees differently with color photography than black-and-white... in short, visualization must be modified by the specific nature of the equipment and materials being used.

I believe the world is incomprehensibly beautiful - an endless prospect of magic and wonder.

I think photography is being recognized and collected. Its values have certainly gone up and continue to go up.
