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

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.

I'm always mentally photographing everything as practice.

We emphasized the creativeness that happens at the moment of seeing over the kind that takes place in the dark room.

A very receptive state of mind... not unlike a sheet of film itself - seemingly inert, yet so sensitive that a fraction of a second's exposure conceives a life in it.

The photographer projects himself into everything he sees, identifying himself with everything in order to know it and to feel it better.

Some of the young photographers today enter photography where I leave off. My "grandchildren" astound me. What I worked for they seem to be born with. So I wonder where Their affirmations of Spirit will lead. My wish for them is that their unfolding proceeds to fullness of Spirit, however astonishing or anguished their lives.
