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

Every other artist begins with a blank canvas, a piece of paper the photographer begins with the finished product.

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.

The boy and girl going hand in hand through a meadow; the mother washing her baby; the sweet simple things in life. We have almost lost track of them.

Once you really commence to see things, then you really commence to feel things.

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