Art is based on order. The world is full of 'sloppy Bohemians' and their work betrays them.

The camera should be used for a recording of life, for rendering the very substance and quintessence of the thing itself, whether it be polished steel or palpitating flesh.

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

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

...through this photographic eye you will be able to look out on a new light-world, a world for the most part uncharted and unexplored, a world that lies waiting to be discovered and revealed.

It seems so utterly naive that landscape - not that of the pictorial school - is not considered of "social significance" when it has a far more important bearing on the human race of a given locale than excrescences called cities.

......so called “composition” becomes a personal thing, to be developed along with technique, as a personal way of seeing.
