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

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

The central act of photography, the act of choosing and eliminating, forces a concentration on the picture edge - the line that separates in from out - and on the shapes that are created by it.

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

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

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.

A camera has interesting ideas of its own.
