Every time I talked about making a picture I didn't do it. I had already done it - talking about it! I quit talking.

To be a photographer, one must photograph. No amount of book learning, no checklist of seminars attended, can substitute for the simple act of making pictures.

I do believe strongly in photography and hope by following it intuitively that when the photographs are looked at they will touch the spirit in people.

I can't say what makes a picture. I can't say. It's mysterious.

Every time I talked about making a picture I didn't do it. I had already done it - talking about it! I quit talking.

In terms of art, the only real answer that I know of is to do it. If you don't do it, you don't know what might happen.

Photography is an adventure just as life is an adventure. If man wishes to express himself photographically, he must understand, surely to a certain extent, his relationship to life.
