When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.

To photograph truthfully and effectively is to see beneath the surfaces.

A great photograph is a full expression of what one feels...

We all move on the fringes of eternity and are sometimes granted vistas through fabric of illusion. Many refuse to admit it: I feel a mystery exists. There are certain times, when, as on the whisper of the wind, there comes a clear and quiet realization that there is indeed a presence in the world, a nonhuman entity that is not necessarily inhuman.

We make images to "honor what is greater and more interesting than we are."

The negative is the score, and the print the performance.

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.
