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

My own eyes are no more than scouts on a preliminary search, or the camera's eye may entirely change my idea.

Good composition is merely the strongest way of seeing.

I would say to any artist: Don't be repressed in your work, dare to experiment, consider any urge, if in a new direction all the better.

People who wouldn't think of taking a sieve to the well to draw water fail to see the folly in taking a camera to make a painting.

If I have any 'message' worth giving to a beginner it is that there are no short cuts in photography.

I find myself every so often looking at my ground glass as though the unrecorded image might escape me!
