By some special graciousness of fate I am deposited - as all good photographers like to be - in the right place at the right time. Go into it as young as possible. Bring all the asset you have and play to win.

I like to hide my camera and use a remote control, because then no one knows when I'm actually imprisoning their souls in the visual plane of thought or just sitting there, waiting, and then making time stop. The printed film is like a bell used to symbolize its hour. Except it stands for both that hour's and everything's sudden stopping.

The camera is a remarkable instrument. Saturate yourself with your subject, and the camera will all but take you by the hand and point the way.

A burning purpose attracts others who are drawn along with it and help fulfill it.

Work is something you can count on, a trusted, lifelong friend who never deserts you.

You are responsible for what you have done and the people whom you have influenced.

I have always thought that if I could turn back the pages of history and photograph one man, my choice would be Moses.
