I retired from everything except work.

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.

... a mysterious intersection of chance and attention that goes well beyond the existential surrealism of the 'decisive moment'.

[Garry Winogrand] was a bull of a man and the world his china shop.

The camera is not merely a reflecting pool and the photographs are not exactly the mirror, mirror on the wall that speaks with a twisted tongue.

I suspect it is for one’s self-interest that one looks at one’s surroundings and one’s self. This search is personally born and is indeed my reason and motive for making photographs. The camera is not merely a reflecting pool and the photographs are not exactly the mirror, mirror on the wall that speaks with a twisted tongue. Witness is borne and puzzles come together at the photographic moment which is very simple and complete. The mind-finger presses the release on the silly machine and it stops time and holds what its jaws can encompass and what the light will stain.

Sometimes just the facts of the matter make it interesting.
