It is not enough to photograph the obviously picturesque.

You know there are moments such as these when time stands still and all you do is hold your breath and hope it will wait for you.

We know by now how to photograph poor people. What we don't know is how to photograph affluence - whose other face is poverty.

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.

Ours is a time of the machine, and ours is a need to know that the machine can be put to creative human effort. If not, the machine can destroy us.

I believe that what we call beautiful is generally a by-product.

It is no accident that the photographer becomes a photographer any more than the lion tamer becomes a lion tamer.
