People are under the illusion that it's easy...Technically, it is complex. You have a million options with equipment to distract you. I tell my students to simplify their equipment.

Beyond the rudiments, it is up to the artist to create art, not the camera.

Photography is 90% sheer, brutal drudgery! The other 10% is inspiration!!

I don't photograph for other people. I love an audience, mind you. Once I've got them there, then I love an audience. Not a big audience, though. I'd rather please ten people I respect than ten million I don't. But I don't play to an audience, I do it for myself.

Of course, we were not promoters, we Westons, let's face it. Dad had only $300 in the bank at the end, that's all he had.

There's nothing worth photographing more than 100 yards from the car
