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

These people live again in print as intensely as when their images were captured on old dry plates of sixty years ago... I am walking in their alleys, standing in their rooms and sheds and workshops, looking in and out of their windows. Any they in turn seem to be aware of me.

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.

In wisdom gathered over time I have found that every experience is a form of exploration.

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.

The only things in my life that compatibly exists with this grand universe are the creative works of the human spirit.

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.
