Photography doesn't teach you to express your emotions; it teaches you how to see.

The camera is no more an instrument of preservation, the image is.

I agree that all good photographs are documents, but I also know that all documents are certainly not good photographs. Furthermore, a good photographer does not merely document, he probes the subject, he 'uncovers' it.

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.

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

What we need of equipment is this: let it possess as good a structure as the real-life content that surrounds us. We need more simplifications to free us for seeing.

Today we are confronted with reality on the vastest scale mankind has known and this puts a greater responsibility on the photographer.
