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

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.

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.

Surefire things are deadening to the human spirit.

Photography is a lot like telling a large predatory cat what to do-while an audience of people you can't see watches you.

While there is perhaps a province in which the photograph can tell us nothing more than what we see with our own eyes, there is another in which it proves to us how little our eyes permit us to see.

Artists are controlled by the life that beats in them, like the ocean beats on the shore.
