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

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

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

Good composition is merely the strongest way of seeing.

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.

Anything more than 500 yards from the car just isn't photogenic.

The photograph isolates and perpetuates a moment of time: an important and revealing moment, or an unimportant and meaningless one, depending upon the photographer's understanding of his subject and mastery of his process.
