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

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

At first I wasn't sure that I had the talent, but I did know I had a fear of failure, and that fear compelled me to fight off anything that might abet it.

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

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

I have never known anyone important enough to consume me in anger beyond a few hours. Better to depart their existence before they poison your own.

Photography was my choice of weapons.
