Photography is an adventure just as life is an adventure.

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.

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.

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

A man's got to know his limitations.

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