Photography is an adventure just as life is an adventure.

I wish more people felt that photography was an adventure the same as life itself and felt that their individual feelings were worth expressing. To me, that makes photography more exciting.

A man has to know his limitations.

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

Every time I talked about making a picture I didn't do it. I had already done it - talking about it! I quit talking.

It takes me a long time to change. I don't think you can just go out and figure out a bunch of visual ideas and photograph. The change happens in living and not through thinking.

The difference between the casual impression and the intensified image is about as great as that separating the average business letter from a poem. If you choose your subject selectively—intuitively—the camera can write poetry.
