I do find a certain fascination with the unpredictable. The transitory years we wade through are what they are- what we make of them.

You know, the camera is not meant just to show misery.

The subject matter is so much more important than the photographer.

If you don't have anything to say, your photographs aren't going to say much.

But I was very disappointed that I didn't get a chance to go overseas with that group, might not have gotten back but I wanted very much to go because there's not much of a record of the exploits of the first Negro fighter group.

Use anger to emotionalize whatever thing you intend to do in life - being a painter, a poet or a photographer

I think most people can do a whole lot more if they just try.
