I feed on art more than I ever do on photographs. I can admire photography, but I wouldn't go to it out of hunger.

Over the years I must have spent thousands of hours silently brushing on the liquid coatings, preparing each sheet in anticipation of reaching the perfect print.

I can get obsessed by anything if i look at it long enough. That's the curse of being a photographer.

Using simple equipment and daylight alone is for me a pleasure and a replenishment.

I am a professional photographer because it is the best way I know to earn the money I require to take care of my wife and children.

A good photograph is one that communicates a fact, touches the heart and leaves the viewer a changed person for having seen it. It is, in a word, effective.

Liberman said to me, 'I must cut back on the work you do for Vogue. The editors don't like it. They say the photographs burn on the page . After some years, I began to understand that what they wanted of me was simply a nice, sweet, clean-looking image of a lovely young woman.
