Pictures, regardless of how they are created and recreated, are intended to be looked at. This brings to the forefront not the technology of imaging, which of course is important, but rather what we might call the eyenology (seeing).

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.

All I care about these days is painting — photography has never been more than a way into painting, a sort of instant drawing.

I love painting. As far as photography is concerned, I understand nothing.

What reinforces the content of a photograph is the sense of rhythm - the relationship between shapes and values.

The picture is good or not from the moment it was caught in the camera.

There is nothing in this world that does not have a decisive moment.
