A very receptive state of mind... not unlike a sheet of film itself - seemingly inert, yet so sensitive that a fraction of a second's exposure conceives a life in it.

Be still with yourself until the object of your attention affirms your presence.

Photography is a language more universal than words.

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

Watching the way the current moves a blade of grass - sometimes I've seen that happen and it has just turned me inside out.

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.

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