I haven't seen too many images that have impressed me!

Photography was the medium preeminently qualified to unite art with science. Photography was born in the years which ushered in the scientific age, an offspring of both science and art.

I didn't decide to be a photographer; I just happened to fall into it.

Pictures are wasted unless the motive power which impelled you to action is strong and stirring.

What to me is anathema - a corpse-like, outmoded hangover - is for photography to be a bad excuse for another medium. ... Is not photography good enough in itself, that it must be made to look like something else, supposedly superior?

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.

Abstraction in photography is ridiculous, and is only an imitation of painting. We stopped imitating painters a hundred years ago, so to imitate them in this day and age is laughable.
