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

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

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.

I do not think there is any question of photography being an art form!

There are worlds of experience beyond the world of the aggressive man, beyond history, and beyond science. The moods and qualities of nature and the revelations of great art are equally difficult to define; we can grasp them only in the depths of our perceptive spirit.

Not everybody trusts paintings but people believe photographs.

Photography is more than a medium for factual communication of ideas. It is a creative art.
