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

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

This photographic thing has changed the entire vision of the world. It will go through every activity of humanity - science, medicine, space, ESP, for peace, against peace, entertainment, television, movies, all of them - you will not find one without photography.

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.

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

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

New images surround us everywhere. They are invisible only because of sterile routine convention and fear.
