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.

The photograph may be presented as finely and artistically as you will; but to merit serious consideration, must be directly connected with the world we live in.

You scientists are the worst photographers in the world and you need the best photographers in the world and I'm the one to do it.

Photography can only represent the present. Once photographed, the subject becomes part of 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.

The more you do, the more you realize there is to do, what a vast object the metropolis is, and how the work of photographing could go on forever.
