go in over your head, not just up to your neck.

The good photograph is not the object, the consequences of the photograph are the objects.

I realize more and more what it takes to be a really good photographer. You go in over your head, not just up to your neck.

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

You go into a room and you know where you're welcome; you know where you're unwelcome.Sometimes in a hostile situation you stick around because hostility itself is important.The people who are garrulous and wear their heart on their sleeve and tell you everything, that's one kind of person, but the fellow who's hiding behind a tree and hoping you don't see him is the fellow that you'd better find out why.

To me, beauty appears when one feels deeply, and art is an act of total attention.

No country has ever closely scrutinized itself visually.
