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.

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

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.

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.

Opinions are like assholes, everbody's got one.

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.

The photographs that excite me are photographs that say something in a new manner; not for the sake of being different but ones that are different because the individual is different and the individual expresses himself.
