There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs.

All art is a vision penetrating the illusions of reality, and photography is one form of this vision and revelation.

We all know the tragedy of the dustbowls, the cruel unforgivable erosions of the soil, the depletion of fish or game, and the shrinking of the noble forests. And we know that such catastrophes shrivel the spirit of the people... The wilderness is pushed back, man is everywhere. Solitude, so vital to the individual man, is almost nowhere.

I am sure the next step will be the electronic image, and I hope I shall live to see it. I trust that the creative eye will continue to function, whatever technological innovations may develop.

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

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.

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.
