All things are photographable.

There is no special way a photograph should look.

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

Museum of Modern Art doesn't have anything to do with what I do. Probably has made some differences in my sales, I wouldn't be surprised. Again, you have to ask other people, because I don't have a measuring device.

Sometimes photographers mistake emotion for what makes a great street photograph.

I look at a photograph. What's going on? What's happening, photographically? If it's interesting, I try to understand why.

I had an agent. When [Edward] Steichen was doing "The Family of Man", I went up to the office one day. I think Wayne Miller, who assisted Steichen with "The Family of Man," was up there and pulled out a bunch of pictures. So I got a message: "Take these pictures, call Steichen, make an appointment and take these pictures up there." And that's how I met him.
