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

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

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

Even while you're in dead earnest about your work, you must approach it with a feeling of freedom and joy; you must be loose-jointed, like a relaxed athlete.

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 anyone gets in my way when I'm making a picture, I become irrational. I'm never sure what I am going to do, or sometimes even aware of what I do-only that I want that picture.

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.
