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

As photographers, we live through things so swiftly. All our experience and training is focused toward snatching off the highlights... That all significant perfect moment, so essential to capture, is often highly perishable. There may be little opportunity to probe deeper.

To understand another human being you must gain some insight into the conditions which made him what he is.

A kind of golden hour one remembers for a life time... Everything was touched with magic.

Utter truth is essential...and to get that truth may take a lot of searching and long hours.

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 banish fear, nothing terribly bad can happen to you.
