Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face.

A good daguerreotype was as perfect a kind of photograph as was ever made.

The mission of photography is to explain man to man and each to himself. And that is the most complicated thing on earth.

A photograph is worth a thousand words, provided it is accompanied by only ten words.

The use of the term art medium is, to say the least, misleading, for it is the artist that creates a work of art not the medium. It is the artist in photography that gives form to content by a distillation of ideas, thought, experience, insight and understanding.

When that shutter clicks, anything else that can be done afterward is not worth consideration.

Art for art's sake is dead, if it ever lived.
