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

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

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 does not photograph something simply for 'what it is', but 'for what else it is.

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.

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

I'm always mentally photographing everything as practice.
