Photographs also show the way that the camera sees. It's not just me or you or anybody else. The camera does something that is different from our own setting.

... photographs are so loaded with information. They're remarkable. As I said, you get both the tree and the forest.

It fascinates me that there is a variety of feeling about what I do. I'm not a premeditative photographer. I see a picture and I make it. If I had a chance, I'd be out shooting all the time. You don't have to go looking for pictures. The material is generous. You go out and the pictures are staring at you.

With a camera like that you don't believe you're in the masterpiece business. It's enough to be able to peck at the world.

I retired from everything except work.

I only wanted Uncle Vernon standing by his own car (a Hudson) on a clear day, I got him and the car. Ialso got a bit of Aunt Mary’s laundry and Beau Jack, the dog, peeing on the fence, and a row of potted tuberous begonias on the porch and 78 trees and a million pebbles in the driveway and more. It’s a generous medium, photography.
