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

I am a pationate lover of the snapshot, because of all photographic images, it comes closest to the truth ... the snapshooter['s] pictures have an apparent disorder and imperfection which is exactly their appeal and their style.

Photography starts with the projection of the photographer, his understanding of life and himself into the picture.

Speed, the fundamental condition of the activities of our day is the power of photography, indeed the modern art of today, the art of the split second.

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.

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

It is the surface I am interested in. Because the surface is the inside.
