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

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

I always work better when I do not reason, when no question of right or wrong enter in,-when my pulse quickens to the form before me without hesitation nor calculation.

"Only with effort can the camera be forced to lie: basically it is an honest medium: so the photographer is much more likely to approach nature in a spirit of inquiry, of communion, instead of with the saucy swagger of self-dubbed "artists"."

A photograph has no value unless it looks exactly like a photograph and nothing else.

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