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.

My project could be only to photograph as I felt and desired, to regulate a pleasant form of living, to get up in the morning-free, to feel the trees, the grass, the water, sky or buildings, people-everything that affects us; and to photograph that which I saw and have always felt.

Experience is the best teacher of all. And for that, there are no guarantees that one will become an artist. Only the journey matters.

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 man's got to know his limitations.

I just don't know what makes a picture, really - the thing that makes it is something unique, as far as I can understand. Just like one guy can write a sentence and it's beautiful and another one can write it and it's dead. What the difference is, I don't know.

Photography is an adventure just as life is an adventure.
