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

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

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

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.

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

Photography suits the temper of this age - of active bodies and minds. It is a perfect medium for one whose mind is teeming with ideas, imagery, for a prolific worker who would be slowed down by painting or sculpting, for one who sees quickly and acts decisively, accurately.

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