These are the two basic controls at the photographer's command--positi on and timing--all others are extensions, peripheral ones, compared to them

I'm a photographer, obviously. My chosen tool for understanding life, and communicating the results of this search to others, is the camera.

My advice is: learn from the best or teach yourself. And do not bother at all if you do not have an exaggerated sense of curiosity.

Learn from the best; the second raters have nothing to offer.

Life as it unfolds in front of the camera is full of so much complexity, wonder and surprise that I find it unnecessary to create new realities. There is more pleasure, for me, in things as-they-are.

This idea fascinates me. The idea that a few seconds of watching a photographer in action can tell you his/her status in the medium. And it's true. If you watch a photographer of merit working an event he/she does not look like an amateur.
