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.

Clouds, torsos, shells, peppers, trees, rocks, smoke stacks, are but interdependent, interrelated parts of a whole, which is life.

An excellent conception can be quite obscured by faulty technical execution or clarified by faultless technique.

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

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

No photographer is better than the simplest of cameras

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.
