The field of action of a photograph should be that chessboard of the heart and mind upon which poetry and art have always operated

... art is images you carry. You cannot carry nature with you, but you carry images of nature. When you go out to make a picture you find you are moved by something which is in agreement with an image you already held within yourself.

Everything is shared by everything else; there are no discontinuities.

Some speak of a return to nature, I wonder where they could have been?

The coherent way of investigating any field is to examine its possible relatedness to other things.

If I could find them (assemblages) in nature I would photograph them. I make them because through photography I have a knowledge of things that can't be found.

Art accepts what it finds.
