The formula for doing a good job in photography is to think like a poet.

I turn people into human beings by not making them into gods.

My mind is vacant on names, but I know him as well as anything. When I need names they drop out of my head; when I don't need them they drop back.

Which is my best picture? The one I will do tomorrow.

Suppose Cartier-Bresson asked the man who jumped the puddle to do it again --- it never would have been the same. Start stealing!

...There are too many people studying it [photography] now who are never going to make it. You can't give them a formula for making it. You have to have it in you first, you don't learn it. The seeing eye is the important thing.

Which of my photographs is my favorite? The one I'm going to take tomorrow.
