The camera’s not a camera, really. It’s an open door we need to walk through. It’s up to us to keep moving our feet.

John Loengard, the picture editor at Life, always used to tell me, ”If you want something to look interesting, don’t light all of it.

A professor I had in college used to tell me that if someone won’t listen to what you have to say because you’re not wearing a tie, then put on a tie, ’cause what you have to say is more important than not wearing a tie. He was right.

Don’t pack up your camera until you’ve left the location.

A career in photography is a journey without a destination.

To me, pictures are about memory.

If you view your life as a piece of fabric or a tapestry, the photography is the stitching. It keeps everything together.
