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

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.

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.

The very secret of life for mewas to maintain in the midst of rushing events an inner tranquility. I had picked a life that dealt with excitement, tragedy, mass calamities, human triumphs and suffering. To throw my whole self into recording and attempting to understand these things, I needed an inner serenity as a kind of balance.

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

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

The world was waiting to be full of discovery made(as a photographer) I could share the things I saw and learned.you would react to something all others might walk by.
