Photography is a contest between a photographer and the presumptions of approximate and habitual seeing. The contest can be held anywhere.

To quote out of context is the essence of the photographer's craft.

It isn't what a picture is of, it is what it is about.

In practice a photographer does not concern himself with philosophical issues while working; he makes photographs, working with subject matter that he thinks will make the pictures.

What's happening is that people are making a billion photographs a year of their cats, frequently with the cats wearing costumes. Do you think I should be doing shows of cat photography?

Luck is the attentive photographer's best teacher.

The goal is not to make something factually impeccable, but seamlessly persuasive.
