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

All art is the expression of one and the same thing- the relation of the spirit of man to the spirit of other men and to the world.

The ‘machine-gun’ approach to photography – by which many negatives are made with the hope that one will be good – is fatal to serious results.

I can look at a fine art photograph and sometimes I can hear music.

I know the importance of highly trained awareness of the “moment” and the immediate and intuitive response of the photographer. It should be obvious to all that photographers whose images possess character and quality have attained them only by continued practice and total dedication to the medium.

Notebook. No photographer should be without one!

The whole world is, to me, very much "alive" - all the little growing things, even the rocks. I can't look at a swell bit of grass and earth, for instance, without feeling the essential life - the things going on - within them. The same goes for a mountain, or a bit of the ocean, or a magnificent piece of old wood.
