The camera sees more than the eye, so why not make use of it?

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.

It's hard not to tell the truth with a camera. Artists are particularly good at that.

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

The fact is that relatively few photographers ever master their medium. Instead they allow the medium to master them and go on an endless squirrel cage chase from new lens to new paper to new developer to new gadget, never staying with one piece of equipment long enough to learn its full capacities, becoming lost in a maze of technical information that is of little or no use since they don't know what to do with it.

There is nothing like a Bach fugue to remove me from a discordant moment... only Bach hold up fresh and strong after repeated playing. I can always return to Bach when the other records weary me.

When subject matter is forced to fit into preconceived patterns, there can be no freshness of vision. Following rules of composition can only lead to a tedious repetition of pictorial cliches.
