One should really use the camera as though tomorrow you'd be stricken blind.

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

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.

Being disabled gave me an immense advantage. People are kinder to you. It puts you on a different level than if you go into a situation whole and secure.

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.

That frame of mind that you need to make fine pictures of a very wonderful subject, you cannot do it by not being lost yourself.

I believe in living with the camera, and not using the camera.
