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.

We could teach photography as a way to make a living, and best of all, somehow to get students to experience for themselves photography as a way of life.

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

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

Sometimes we work so fast that we don't really understand what's going on in front of the camera. We just kind of sense that, 'Oh my God, it's significant!' and photograph impulsively while trying to get the exposure right. Exposure occupies my mind while intuition frames the images.

To engage a sequence, we keep in mind the photographs on either side of the one in our eye.

At first glance a photograph can inform us. At second glance it can reach us.
