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.

Imagine a world without photography, one could only imagine.

I believe there is no more creative medium than photography to recreate the living world of our time. Photography gladly accepts the challenge because it is at home in its element: namely, realism - real life - the now.

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

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

Photography helps people to see.

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, more selective, more acute eye by looking ever more sharply at what is going on in the world. Like every other means of expression, photography, if it is to be utterly honest and direct, should be related to the life of the times-the pulse of today. 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.
