I do not photograph nature. I photograph my visions.
I would photograph an idea rather than an object, a dream rather than an idea.
Nature does not create works of art. It is we, and the faculty of interpretation peculiar to the human mind, that see art.
There is no progress in art, any more than there is progress in making love.
Personally, I have always preferred inspiration to information.
Just as I work with paints, brushes, and canvas, I work with the light, pieces of glass and chemistry.
