I bought my first camera in Seattle, Washington. Only paid about seven dollars and fifty cents for it.

I have been born again and again and each time, I have found something to love.

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

The guy who takes a chance, who walks the line between the known and unknown, who is unafraid of failure, will succeed.

Think in terms of images and words. They can be mighty powerful when they are fitted together properly.

I was there less than a year before I was assigned to the Paris bureau. I spent two years there and, in fact, before I even went on the staff I was sent to Europe to do assignments which they wouldn't normally do for a young photographer just starting out.

The photographer begins to feel big and bloated and so big he can't walk through one of these doors because he gets a good byline; he gets notices all over the world and so forth; but they're really - the important people are the people he photographs.
