I don't get straight people, but I understand what they look like.

Most photographs, to me, are description, but they lack insight.

You can never capture a person in picture, never. You might get an interesting expression or gesture. I almost never research a picture subject ahead of time. I think Karsh is full of baloney. Can you imagine spending a whole week out in La Jolla with Jonas Salk soaking up his ambiance, then wind up making him look as if he's in the studio in Ottawa with his thumb under his chin?

I'm a terrible punster. And I love to rhyme. I just can't help myself.

The majority of photographers focus on the obvious. They believe and accept what their eyes tell them, and yet eyes know nothing.

One of the marvelous things about film is that if you expose it long enough you're going to get a picture.

To photograph reality is to photograph nothing.
