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

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.

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.

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

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

Some photographers take reality... and impose the domination of their own thought and spirit. Others come before reality more tenderly and a photograph to them is an instrument of love and revelation.
