Art for art's sake is dead, if it ever lived.
A photograph is worth a thousand words, provided it is accompanied by only ten words.
Every photograph is a fake from start to finish.
I was coming to realize that the real magician was light itself.
Every other artist begins with a blank canvas, a piece of paper the photographer begins with the finished product.
When I first became interested in photography, I thought it was the whole cheese. My idea was to have it recognized as one of the fine arts. Today I don't give a hoot in hell about that. The mission of photography is to explain man to man and each man to himself.
