Photographers mistake the emotion they feel while taking the photo as a judgment that the photograph is good

I know what I like to use myself. I use Leicas, but when I look at the photograph, I don't ask the photograph questions. Mine or anybody else's. The only time I've ever dealt with that kind of thing is when I'm teaching.

I don't really have any faith in anybody enjoying photographs in a large enough sense to matter. I think it's all about finances, on one side.

There are things I back off from trying to talk about, you know. Particularly my own work. Also, there may be things better left unsaid. At times I'd much rather talk about other (people's) work.

Cameras always were seductive. And then a darkroom became available, and that's when I stopped doing anything else.

I'm pretty fast with a camera when I have to be. However, I think it's irrelevant.

You've got to deal with how photographs look, what's there, not how they're made.
