I'm always mentally photographing everything as practice.

When I look at pictures I have made, I have forgotten what I saw in front of the camera and respond only to what I am seeing in the photographs.

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

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

Photography is a language more universal than words.

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.

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