Students were taught by doing.

All photographs are self-portraits.

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

Be still with yourself until the object of your attention affirms your presence.

Photographers who come up with power never get accused of imitating anyone else even though they photograph the same broom, same street, same portraits.

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.

We could teach photography as a way to make a living, and best of all, somehow to get students to experience for themselves photography as a way of life.
