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

...insight, vision, moments of revelation. During those rare moments something overtakes the man and he becomes the tool of a greater Force; the servant of, willing or unwilling depending on his degree of awakeness. The photograph, then, is a message more than a mirror, and the mans a messenger who happens to be a photographer.

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

I'm always mentally photographing everything as practice.

When you approach something to photograph it, first be still with yourself until the object of your attention affirms your presence. Then don't leave until you have captured its essence.

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

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