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

It's a question of methods. Everybody wants results, but nobody wants to do what they have to do to get them done.

The mystery isn't in the technique, it's in each of us.

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.

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.

I like the simple things. I don't know why. I'm that way. I came from a simple place.
