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

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. There is something demoralizing about going back to a place to retake pictures. You can no longer see your subjects in a fresh eye; you keep comparing them with the pictures you hold in your memory. [The] world was full of discoveries waiting to be made...(as a photographer) I could share the things I saw and learned...you would react to something all others might walk by.

Photography is a very subtle thing. You must let the camera take you by the hand, as it were, and lead you into your subject.

Life is beating against the school windows. You must quickly open the doors and go out to learn that no door must be locked against you.
