A photograph can look anyway. It just depends basically on what you photograph.

Two people could look at the same flowers and feel differently about them. Why not? I'm not making ads. I couldn't care less.

There was a camera club at Columbia, where I was taking a painting course. And when I went down, somebody showed me how to use the stuff. That's all. I haven't done anything else since then, It was as simple as that. I fell into the business.

I've goofed, and there's been something interesting, but I haven't made use of it. It just doesn't interest me.

Everybody's entitled to their own experience.

I don't have anything to say in any picture. My only interest in photography is to see what something looks like as a photograph. I have no preconceptions.

The camera's dumb, it don't [sic] care who's pushing the button. It doesn't know.
