Photography is a language more universal than words.

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.

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

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.

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

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