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 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.

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.

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

I like the simple things. I don't know why. I'm that way. I came from a simple place.

Opinions are like assholes, everbody's got one.

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.
