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

I think nearly every artist continually wants to reach the edge of nothingness - the point where you can’t go any further.

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

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.

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.

To be a photographer, one must photograph. No amount of book learning, no checklist of seminars attended, can substitute for the simple act of making pictures.
