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

Photography to the amateur is recreation, to the professional it is work, and hard work too, no matter how pleasurable it my be.

A lifetime can well be spent correcting and improving one's own faults without bothering about others.

Arguments against photography ever being considered a fine art are: the element of chance which enters in, — finding things ready-made for a machine to record, and of course the mechanics of the medium. I say that chance enters into all branches of art.

The camera sees more than the eye, so why not make use of it?

I find myself every so often looking at my ground glass as though the unrecorded image might escape me!

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