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

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.

Evolution in action: First, God said, 'Let there be light.' Then, he created two nude models. Now we have photographers.

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

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

Asked for your opinion on the prints, you have two choices: truth or tact. I ask for the bathroom.

...photographers who carry 60 pounds of equipment up a hill to photograph a view are not suffering enough, although their whining causes enough suffering among their listeners. No, if they really expect us to respect their search for enlightenment and artistic expression, in [the] future they will drag the equipment up the hill by their genitals and take the view with a tripod leg stuck through their foot.
