I see my finished platinum print (in the viewfinder) in all its desired qualities, before my exposure.

The photograph isolates and perpetuates a moment of time: an important and revealing moment, or an unimportant and meaningless one, depending upon the photographer's understanding of his subject and mastery of his process.

A lifetime can well be spent correcting and improving one's own faults without bothering about others.

Anything more than 500 yards from the car just isn't photogenic.

For photography is a way to capture the moment - not just any moment, but the important one, this one moment out of all time when your subject is revealed to the fullest - that moment of perfection which comes once and is not repeated.

I don't care if you make a print on a bath mat, just as long as it is a good print.

Is love like art - something always ahead, never quite attained.
