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

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

Sometimes we work so fast that we don't really understand what's going on in front of the camera. We just kind of sense that, 'Oh my God, it's significant!' and photograph impulsively while trying to get the exposure right. Exposure occupies my mind while intuition frames the images.

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

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.

Different levels of photography require different levels of understanding and skill. A "press the button, let George do the rest" photographer needs little or no technical knowledge of photography. A zone system photographer takes more responsibility. He visualizes before he presses the button, and afterwards calibrates for predictable print values.

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