Photography has not changed since its origin except in its technical aspects, which for me are not important.

Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again.

There is no closed figure in nature. Every shape participates with another. No one thing is independent of another, and one thing rhymes with another, and light gives them shape.

The world is being created every minute, and the world is falling to pieces every minute

It's seldom you make a great picture. you have to milk the cow quite a lot to get plenty of milk to make a little cheese.

Of all the means of expression, photography is the only one that fixes a precise moment in time.

It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera... they are made with the eye, heart and head.
