...the subject, the thing itself, is the genesis of all types of photography.

True, there are photographers who are failed artists, but so are most artists.

At exhibition openings always praise the chicken for laying eggs; you can wring its neck later.

I appreciate photographs which celebrate harmony. I don't particularly want to look at chaos. I see enough of that at home.

Think clearly, act sensibly, commit yourself to caring and work hard in order to discover joy. Then give the images back to the world from which they were taken.

If you cannot think of anything to say that is useful or enlightening about your images, then don't say anything. There are plenty of other people who would love to put words in your mouth.

Photographers, like kids, should be seen and not heard.
