I believe in beauty. I believe in stones and water, air and soil, people and their future and their fate.

We all move on the fringes of eternity and are sometimes granted vistas through fabric of illusion.

Image quality is not the product of a machine, but of the person who directs the machine, and there are no limits to imagination and expression.

These people live again in print as intensely as when their images were captured on old dry plates of sixty years ago... I am walking in their alleys, standing in their rooms and sheds and workshops, looking in and out of their windows. Any they in turn seem to be aware of me.

For me the future of the image is going to be in electronic form... You will see perfectly beautiful images on an electronic screen. And Id say that would be very handsome. They would be almost as close as the best reproductions.

There are no forms in nature. Nature is a vast, chaotic collection of shapes. You as an artist create configurations out of chaos. You make a formal statement where there was none to begin with. All art is a combination of an external event and an internal event… I make a photograph to give you the equivalent of what I felt. Equivalent is still the best word.

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