I photograph continuously, often without a good idea or strong feelings. During this time the photos are nearly all poor, but I believe they develop my seeing and help later on in other photos. I do believe strongly in photography and hope by following it intuitively that when the photographs are looked at they will touch the spirit in people.

I love art because it doesn't have rules like baseball. The only rule is to be good. That's the toughest thing to do.

A picture is like a prayer.

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.

It's the subject matter that counts. I'm interested in revealing the subject in a new way to intensify it. A photo is able to capture a moment that people can't always see.

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

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