...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.

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

There's no particular class of photograph that I think is any better than any other class. I'm always and forever looking for the image that has spirit! I don't give a damn how it got made.

If I have anything to give you through camera, it must be of myself. … A gnawing burns inside … to make something of myself worth giving.

All photographs are self-portraits.

When I looked at things for what they are I was fool enough to persist in my folly and found that each photograph was a mirror of my Self.
