I toyed with the notion of being an actor, and am so glad that this whim did not go any further.

To ask people's permission to take their pictures? Sometimes it feels right to ask, but I will not ask, unless it is essential to do so. If you asked all the time, you would miss everything. With the exception of portraits, it is generally bad news if people are looking at the camera.

Unless it hurts, unless there’s some vulnerability there, I don’t think you’re going to get good photographs.

You have to take a lot of bad pictures. Dont' be afraid to take bad pictures... You have to take a lot of bad pictures in order to know when you've got a good one.

Color was the palette of commercial photography and snapshot photography.

I always take photographs when I attend a funeral. Most people there know who I am and expect me to be there with my camera.
