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

Emphasis on technique is justified only so far as it will simplify and clarify the statement of the photographer's concept.

A photograph is usually looked at - seldom looked into.

All art is a vision penetrating the illusions of reality, and photography is one form of this vision and revelation.

I am sure the next step will be the electronic image, and I hope I shall live to see it. I trust that the creative eye will continue to function, whatever technological innovations may develop.

A true photograph need not be explained, nor can it be contained in words.

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