I guess I've shot about 40,000 negatives and of these I have about 800 pictures I like.

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.

It's the subject matter that counts. I'm interested in revealing the subject in a new way to intensify it. A photo is able to capture a moment that people can't always see.

I realize that we all do express ourselves, but those who express that which is always being done are those whose thinking is almost in every way in accord with everyone else. Expression on this basis has become dull to those who wish to think for themselves.

I think I came alive when I started photography.

Nothing wrong with people getting shot, as long as it's the right people getting shot.

I think nearly every artist continually wants to reach the edge of nothingness - the point where you can’t go any further.
