Let the subject generate its own photographs. Become a camera.

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.

Camera and eye are together a time machine with which the mind and human being can do the same kind of violence to time and space as dreams.

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

The reason why we want to remember an image varies: because we simply 'love it,' or dislike it so intensely that it becomes compulsive, or because it has made us realize something about ourselves, or has brought about some slight change in us. Perhaps the reader can recall some image, after the seeing of which he has never been quite the same.

We could teach photography as a way to make a living, and best of all, somehow to get students to experience for themselves photography as a way of life.

When I looked at things for what they are I was fool enough to persist in my folly and found that each photograph was a mirror of my Self.
