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.

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.

If you banish fear, nothing terribly bad can happen to you.

A book, while it is being written, has an intense life of its own which you share.

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.

The very secret of life for me, I believed, was to maintain in the midst of rushing events an inner tranquility.

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