There are many teachers who could ruin you. Before you know it you could be a pale copy of this teacher or that teacher. You have to evolve on your own.

Does not the very word 'creative' mean to build, to initiate, to give out, to act - rather than to be acted upon, to be subjective? Living photography is positive in its approach, it sings a song of life - not death.

I am so fascinated with this century it will help keep me alive. I'll be there until the last minute, fighting.

The photographer is the contemporary being par excellence; through his eyes the now becomes the past.

The lens freezes time and space in what may be an optical slavery or, contrarily, the crystallization of meaning. The limits of the lens' vision are esthetically often a virtue.

What the human eye observes casually and incuriously, the eye of the camera (the lens) notes with relentless fidelity.

I think the important decision for a photographer is to choose a subject that intensely interests him or her.
