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.

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.

The most important piece of equipment in your bag is your attitude

Do not be afraid of mistakes. They will be with you always,every time you put a camera to your eye. [If you] shoot safe, and don't at least occasionally court disaster, you are not trying. Time to hang up the camera.

If you're not having fun, your pictures will reflect that.

A career in photography is a journey without a destination.

I can't tell you how many pictures I've missed just 'cause I've been so hell bent on getting the shot I think I want.
