I tried to keep both arts alive, but the camera won. I found that while the camera does not express the soul, perhaps a photograph can!

It is easy to take a photograph, but it is harder to make a masterpiece in photography than in any other art medium.

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

Image quality is not the product of a machine, but of the person who directs the machine, and there are no limits to imagination and expression.

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

Millions of men have lived to fight, build palaces and boundaries, shape destinies and societies; but the compelling force of all times has been the force of originality and creation profoundly affecting the roots of human spirit.

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.
