You have to devote yourself totally to be successful at it.

I like things that have to do with what is real, elegant, well presented and without excessive style. In other words, just fine observation.

I wasn't imposing my presence on anyone, which is very important for a would- be journalist. I stayed back. Always let people be themselves.

If you're not a curious person, you're certainly not going to be a good photographer.

Good photography is not about Zone Printing or any other Ansel Adams nonsense. It's just about seeing. You either see or you don't see. The rest is academic. Photography is simply a function of noticing things. Nothing more.

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

Ill always be an amateur photographer.
