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.

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

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

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

...innocence of eye has a quality of its own. It means to see as a child sees, with freshness and acknowledgment of the wonder; it also means to see as an adult sees who has gone full circle and once again sees as a child - with freshness and an even deeper sense of wonder.

Students were taught by doing.

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