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.

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

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

Most of Tina Modotti's work that is known to the photography world was done in Mexico in the years 1923 through 1926, when she lived and worked with Edward Weston.

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

A photographer's best work is, alas, generally done for himself.

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