Frame in terms of what you want to have in the picture, not about making a nice picture, that anybody can do.

The photo is a thing in itself. And that's what still photography is all about.

I have no idea what's going to happen. Who knows - if they can't afford to buy a boat, maybe they buy a print. Who knows what happens with their buck?

There are things I photograph because I'm interested in those things.

I really try to divorce myself from any thought of possible use of this stuff. That's part of the discipline. My only purpose while I'm working is to try to make interesting photographs, and what to do with them is another act - an alter consideration. Certainly while I'm working, I want them to be as useless as possible.

It was interesting; it's an interesting photographic problem [those demonstrations in the late Sixties]. But if I was doing it as a job, I think I'd have to get paid extra.

I don't know if all the women in the photographs are beautiful, but I do know that the women are beautiful in the photographs.
