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

A few photographers make a killing; the rest can't make a living.

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.

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

I'd like my coffin to be a camera obscura so I can see what's going on outside.

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

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.
