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

Imagine a world without photography, one could only imagine.

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

Photography can never grow up if it imitates some other medium. It has to walk alone; it has to be itself.

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.

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?

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