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

Just think how minimal somebody's family album is. But you start looking at one of them, and the word everybody will use is "charming." Something just happened. It's automatic, just operating a camera intelligently.

Well, I'm not going to get into that. I think that those kind of distinctions and lists of titles like "street photographer" are so stupid. I'm a photographer, a still photographer. That's it.

I don't think time is involved in how the thing is made.

Nobody sold prints then and prices didn't mean anything. In terms of earning your living, it was a joke.

The photograph should be more interesting or more beautiful than what was photographed

If I photograph you I don't have you, I have a photograph of you. It's got its own thing. That's really what photography, still photography, is about.
