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

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

It is just as important to bring people the evidence of the beauty of the world of nature and of man as it is to give them a document of ugliness, squalor, and despair.

You don't take a picture, you make a picture.

I am always surprised when I see several cameras, a gaggle on lenses, filters, meters, et cetera, rattling around in a soft bag with a complement of refuse and dust. Sometimes the professional is the worst offender!

Art is both the taking and giving of beauty, the turning out to the light of the inner folds of the awareness of the spirit.

A photograph is not an accident - is a concept. It exists at, or before, the moment of exposure of the negative.
