Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still.

The words that come direct from the people are the greatest.If you substitute one out of your own vocabulary, it disappears before your eyes.

This benefit of seeing...can come only if you pause a while, extricate yourself from the maddening mob of quick impressions ceaselessly battering our lives, and look thoughtfully at a quiet image...the viewer must be willing to pause, to look again, to meditate.

Photography today appears to be in a state of flight... The familiar is made strange, the unfamiliar grotesque. The amateur forces his Sundays into a series of unnatural poses.

You put your camera around your neck along with putting on your shoes, and there it is, an appendage of the body that shares your life with you. The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.

Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still.

Life, for people, begins to crumble on the edges; they don't realize it.
