It is horrifying that we have to fight our own government to save the environment.

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

The single most important component of a camera is the twelve inches behind it!

No man has the right to dictate what other men should perceive, create or produce, but all should be encouraged to reveal themselves, their perceptions and emotions, and to build confidence in the creative spirit.

One of the most important pieces of equipment, for the photographer who really wants to improve, is a great big wastepaper basket.

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

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.
