'Ornithologists concluded that migratory birds take hundreds of naps as they fly; they also practice unilateral eye closure, in which one eye closes, thereby permitting half the brain to sleep.' Is this what happens when photographers close one eye to look through a viewfinder? If so, they might be operating with only half a brain. Perhaps that explains.

I agree, intellectualism in photography is overrated. I just wish it could be replaced by common sense.

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

I was offered $100,000 for a print. Then I woke up.

Ask photographers to write and they have nothing to say; ask them to talk about their work and they won't shut up.

Photography is inextricably linked with life; the photographer is not invisibly behind the camera but projecting a life-attitude through the lens to create an interference pattern with the image. Who he is, what he believes, not only becomes important to know intellectually, but also becomes revealed emotionally and visibly through a body of work.

A photograph is a mirror; mostly it reflects the prejudices of the viewer.
