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

Before he has seen the whole, how unusually perceptive and imaginative the person must be to evolve the entire sequence by meditating on its single, pair or triplet of essential images.

Some of the young photographers today enter photography where I leave off. My "grandchildren" astound me. What I worked for they seem to be born with. So I wonder where Their affirmations of Spirit will lead. My wish for them is that their unfolding proceeds to fullness of Spirit, however astonishing or anguished their lives.

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.

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

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.

Students were taught by doing.
