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

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.

The whole world is, to me, very much "alive" - all the little growing things, even the rocks. I can't look at a swell bit of grass and earth, for instance, without feeling the essential life - the things going on - within them. The same goes for a mountain, or a bit of the ocean, or a magnificent piece of old wood.

The craft of photography is the key to good images.

A photograph is not an accident - it is a concept.

We must remember that a photograph can hold just as much as we put into it, and no one has ever approached the full possibilities of the medium.

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.
