Photographers tend not to photograph what they can’t see, which is the very reason one should try to attempt it. Otherwise we’re going to go on forever just photographing more faces and more rooms and more places. Photography has to transcend description. It has to go beyond description to bring insight into the subject, or reveal the subject, not as it looks, but how does it feel?

The question of truth is forever in the air, and people look for it with particular fervor in art.

Trust that little voice in your head that says 'Wouldn't it be interesting if...'; And then do it.

To fulfil a fantasy is the quickest way to destroy it.

Usually when painters use photographs, they enlarge and copy them and simply make a large, boring painting of a large, boring photograph.

Photography deals exquisitely with appearances, but nothing is what it appears to be.

I think that the photographer must completely control his picture and bring to it all his personality, and in this area most photographs never transcend being just snapshots. When a great photographer does infuse the snapshot with his personality and vision, it can be transformed into something truly moving and beautiful.
