I can't say what makes a picture. I can't say. It's mysterious.

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.

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

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.

Photography is an adventure just as life is an adventure.

In terms of art, the only real answer that I know of is to do it. If you don't do it, you don't know what might happen.

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.
