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

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.

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

Poetic and speculative photographs can result if one works carefully and accurately, yet letting chance relationships have full play.

Words represent images: nothing can be said for which there is no image.

... 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.
