The element of discovery is very important. I don't repeat myself well. I want and need that stimulus of walking forward from one new world to another.

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.

If you want to photograph a man spinning, give some thought to why he spins. Understanding for a photographer is as important as the equipment he uses.

"Utter truth is essential, and that is what stirs me when I look through the camera."

My idea of gardening is to discover something wild in my wood and weed around it with the utmost care until it has a chance to grow and spread.

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.

Usually I object when someone makes over-much of men's work versus women's work, for I think it is the excellence of the results which counts.
