I am a passionate lover of the snapshot, because of all photographic images it comes closest to truth.

They say my prints are bad, darling they should see my negatives

Photography is the easiest art, which perhaps makes it the hardest.

Photography through the camera is an instrument of detection. We photograph not only what we know, but also what we don't know.

The snapshot has no pretense or ambition. Innocence is the quintessence of the snapshot. I wish to distinguish between innocence and ignorance. Innocence is one of the highest forms of being and ignorance is one of the lowest.

Never take a picture of anything you are not passionately interested in.

Don't shoot til the subject hits you in the pit of your stomach.
