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.

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.

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.

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

Photography is a language more universal than words.

One should not only photograph things for what they are but for what else they are.
