Why limit yourself to what your eyes see when you have an opportunity to extend your vision?

...the pepper is beginning to show signs of strain, and tonight should grace a salad. It has been suggested that I am a cannibal to eat my models.

Good composition is merely the strongest way of seeing.

Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.

As great a picture can be made as one's mental capacity-no greater. Art cannot be taught; it must be self-inspiration, though the imagination may be fired and the ambition and work directed by the advice and example of others.

The prejudice many photographers have against colour photography comes from not thinking of colour as form. You can say things with colour that can't be said in black and white... Those who say that colour will eventually replace black and white are talking nonsense. The two do not compete with each other. They are different means to different ends.

This then: to photograph a rock, have it look like a rock, but be more than a rock.
