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.

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

I have yet to see a fine photograph which is not a good document.

To chart a course, one must have a direction. In reality, the eye is no better than the philosophy behind it. The photographer creates, evolves a better, a more selective, more acute seeing eye by looking ever more sharply at what is going on in the world.

Photography helps people to see.

The art is in selecting what is worthwhile to take the trouble about.

Actually, documentary pictures include every subject in the world - good, bad, indifferent. I have yet to see a fine photograph which is not a good document.
