A skillful photographer can photograph anything well.

They were ... pure and unadulterated photographs, and sometimes they hinted at the existence of visual truths that had escaped all other systems of detection.

The world now contains more photographs than bricks, and they are, astonishingly, all different.

The photographer’s vision convinces us to the degree that the photographer hides his hand.

Photography's central sense of purpose and aesthetic: the precise and lucid description of significant fact.

Because we see reality in different ways, we must understand that we are looking at different truths rather than the truth and that, therefore, all photographs lie in one way or another.

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.
