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

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

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.

A picture is like a prayer.

You only do exercises in art school. That's not the real thing. A little bit tells you so much. You have to find your own self. And you don't know what you are! But that's what you have to search for.

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 think I came alive when I started photography.
