Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.

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

If I have any 'message' worth giving to a beginner it is that there are no short cuts in photography.

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.

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

I see no reason for recording the obvious.

I would say to any artist: Don't be repressed in your work, dare to experiment, consider any urge, if in a new direction all the better.
