I talk a lot about photography. It's cheap becuase my supply always exceeds demand.

If it is not an interesting picture when in focus, it is not going to be a better picture out of focus.

Be gentle and tolerant. Intimacy will grow, but will take time and cannot be rushed. If all goes well, soon you will become more familiar with each other, and handling will forge awkward fumbling and fondling into more satisfying and productive caresses and eventually into a comfortable working partnership. At this stage you will be ready to accompany your new camera into the world.

If you are intent on drawing or painting on your prints, you must first learn to draw and paint at least as well as you photograph.

Predators and prey always coexist. That's why we have galleries as well as photographers.

Discussions allow photographers to shuffle their prejudices

This is life. It is everywhere, and it is here for the taking. I am alive and I know this, now, in a more profound way than when I am doing anything else. These sights are ephemeral, fleeting treasures that have been offered to me and to me alone. No other person in the history of the world, anywhere in all of time and space, has been granted this gift to be here in my place. And I am privileged, through the camera, to take this moment away with me. That is why I photograph.
