In common with other artists the photographer wants his finished print to convey to others his own response to his subject. In the fulfillment of this aim, his greatest asset is the directness of the process he employs. But this advantage can only be retained if he simplifies his equipment and technic to the minimum necessary, and keeps his approach from from all formula, art-dogma, rules and taboos. Only then can he be free to put his photographic sight to use in discovering and revealing the nature of the world he lives in.

No photographer is better than the simplest of cameras

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.

Ultimately success or failure in photographing people depends on the photographer's ability to understand his fellow man.

When a photographer masters the tools and processes of the art, then the quality of the work is only limited by his creative vision.

Why limit yourself to what your eyes see when you have an opportunity to extend your vision?

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