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.

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

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.

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

At first glance a photograph can inform us. At second glance it can reach us.

No matter how slow the film, Spirit always stands still long enough for the photographer It has chosen.

In putting images together I become active, and excitement is of another order - synthesis overshadows analysis.
