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

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

When I look at pictures I have made, I have forgotten what I saw in front of the camera and respond only to what I am seeing in the photographs.

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

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.

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

All photographs are self-portraits.
