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

Surefire things are deadening to the human spirit.

To know ahead of time what you're looking for means you're then only photographing your own preconceptions, which is very limiting, and often false.

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.

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

A documentary photograph is not a factual photograph.

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.
