Pick a theme and work it to exhaustion... the subject must be something you truly love or truly hate.

I've never not been sure that I was a photographer any more than you would not be sure you were yourself. I was a photographer, or wanting to be a photographer, or beginning - but some phase of photographer I've always been.

I many times encountered courage, real courage. Undeniable courage. I've heard it said that that was the highest quality of the human animal. I encountered that many times, in unexpected places. And I have learned to recognize it when I see it.

Photographers stop photographing a subject too soon before they have exhausted the possibilities.

Surefire things are deadening to the human spirit.

One should really use the camera as though tomorrow you'd be stricken blind. To live a visual life is an enormous undertaking, practically unattainable. I have only touched it, just touched it.

No country has ever closely scrutinized itself visually ... I know what we could make of it if people only thought we could dare look at ourselves.
