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

We make pictures. At the end of the day, we create something potentially significant that did not exist at the beginning of the day. We go forward, despite the uncertainty. Because this is an act of love and passion, which defies reason and prudence.

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.

When shooting a story about someone, their hands should always be on your list to shoot.

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.

Our pictures are our footprints. It’s the best way to tell people we were here.
