Reaching a 'creative' state of mind thru positive action is considered preferable to waiting for 'inspiration'.

All photographs are self-portraits.

The camera is first a means of self-discovery and a means of self-growth. The artist has one thing to say - himself.

There's no particular class of photograph that I think is any better than any other class. I'm always and forever looking for the image that has spirit! I don't give a damn how it got made.

If all your life means to you is water running over rocks, then photograph it, but I want to create something that would not have existed without me.

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

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