I try not to tell students where to shoot, when to shoot, or what to shoot. I feel finding the picture is the most important part of being a photographer. The actual shooting is of lesser importance.

If you are out there shooting, things will happen for you. If you're not out there, you'll only hear about it.

We don't experience light, color, and gesture in a vacuum. We experience it in contexts.

There are rules about perception, but not about photography.

You can't just turn on when something happens, you have to be turned on all the time. Then things happen.

Gesture will survive whatever kind of light you have. Gesture can triumph over anything because of its narrative content.

Allow yourself to lose your way.
