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.

"Simply look with perceptive eyes at the world about you, and trust to your own reactions and convictions. Ask yourself: "Does this subject move me to feel, think and dream? Can I visualize a print - my own personal statement of what I feel and want to convey - from the subject before me?""

This profession [photography] is deserving of attention and respect equal to that accorded painting, literature, music and architecture.

Photography has escalated almost exponentially! It is a language which covers almost every aspect of communication; factual and expressive.

Not everybody trusts paintings but people believe photographs.

The negative is comparable to the composer's score and the print to its performance. Each performance differs in subtle ways.

You don't make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.
