When I look at pictures I have made, I have forgotten what I saw in front of the camera and respond only to what I am seeing in the photographs.

If I have anything to give you through camera, it must be of myself. … A gnawing burns inside … to make something of myself worth giving.

Watching the way the current moves a blade of grass - sometimes I've seen that happen and it has just turned me inside out.

One should not only photograph things for what they are but for what else they are.

To engage a sequence, we keep in mind the photographs on either side of the one in our eye.

It is curious that I always want to group things, a series of sonnets, a series of photographs; whatever rationalizations appear, they originate in urges that are rarely satisfied with single images.

Before he has seen the whole, how unusually perceptive and imaginative the person must be to evolve the entire sequence by meditating on its single, pair or triplet of essential images.
