If you choose your subject selectively - intuitively - the camera can write poetry.

I can tell you for me it goes on forever. There are some things you can't ever find out. You can't find out in one life either.

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

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.

A picture is like a prayer; you're offering a prayer to get something, and in a sense it's like a gift of God because you have practically no control-at least I don't.

It's a question of methods. Everybody wants results, but nobody wants to do what they have to do to get them done.

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.
