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

It is curious that I always want to group things, a series of sonnets, a series of photographs; whatever rationalizations appear, they originate in urges that are rarely satisfied with single images.

...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.

Photography is a language more universal than words.

When gifts are given to me through my camera, I accept them graciously.

When I looked at things for what they are I was fool enough to persist in my folly and found that each photograph was a mirror of my Self.

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.
