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

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

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.

I'm always mentally photographing everything as practice.

All photographs are self-portraits.

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

Camera and eye are together a time machine with which the mind and human being can do the same kind of violence to time and space as dreams.
