I eagerly await new concepts and processes. I believe that the electronic image will be the next major advance. Such systems will have their own inherent and inescapable structural characteristics, and the artist and functional practitioner will again strive to comprehend and control them.

When I'm ready to make a photograph, I think I quite obviously see in my minds eye something that is not literally there in the true meaning of the word. I'm interested in something which is built up from within, rather than just extracted from without.

I believe the world is incomprehensibly beautiful - an endless prospect of magic and wonder.

Let us leave a splendid legacy for our children...let us turn to them and say, this you inherit: guard it well, for it is far more precious than money...and once destroyed, nature's beauty cannot be repurchased at any price.

It is the photographer, not the camera, that is the instrument.

Impression is not enough. Design, style, technique - these, too, are not enough. Art must reach further than impression or self-revelation .

Myths and creeds are heroic struggles to comprehend the truth in the world.
