The thing that interests me about photography, and why it's different from all other media, is that it's the only medium in which there is even the possibility of an accidental masterpiece.

Far more interesting than problem solving is problem creation.

All the fingerprint paintings are done without a grid.

It doesn't upset artists to find out that artists used lenses or mirrors or other aids, but it certainly does upset the art historians.

I've always thought that problem-solving is highly overrated and that problem creation is far more interesting.

I have always attempted to create images that deliver the maximum amount of information about the subject.

From my point of view, photography never got any better than it was in 1840.
