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.

...innocence of eye has a quality of its own. It means to see as a child sees, with freshness and acknowledgment of the wonder; it also means to see as an adult sees who has gone full circle and once again sees as a child - with freshness and an even deeper sense of wonder.

All photographs are self-portraits.

Photography is a language more universal than words.

I have often photographed when I am not in tune with nature but the photographs look as if I had been. So I conclude that something in nature says, 'Come and take my photograph.' So I do, regardless of how I feel.

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.
