I don't think anything happens without the press, one way or the other. I think it's all done for it. You saw it start, really, with Martin Luther King in Birmingham. He did the bus thing. And I don't think anything that followed would have happened if the press hadn't paid attention.

Certainly, you know, you can always learn from some - from somebody else's - from some intelligence. I think. I hope.

My intention is to make interesting photographs. That's it, in the end. I don't make it up. Let's say it's a world I never made. That's what was there to deal with.

Great photography is always on the edge of failure.

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

Surviving, that's all. That's all I have in mind .

Tod or Hank Wessel, Bill Dane, Paul McConough, Steve Shore. Robert Adams, for sure. I'm ready to see what they do.There's a lot of people working reasonably intelligently.
