Making pictures is a very simple act. There is no great secret in photography...schools are a bunch of crap. You just need practice and application of what you've learned. My absolute conviction is that if you are working reasonably well the only important thing is to keep shooting...it doesn't matter whether you are making money or not. Keep working, because as you go through the process of working things begin to happen.

There's no great mystique to photography. A lot of photographers like to put their hands up to their forehead and tell you how they've suffered and so forth. Well, I just rent a car and drive to the place and take the pictures.

Photography is pretty simple stuff. You just react to what you see, and take many, many pictures.

I've been around so long, most editors think I'm dead.

If you keep your cool, you'll get everything.

Quality … has to do with intention.

I am a professional photographer by trade and an amateur photographer by vocation.
