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.

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.

Different levels of photography require different levels of understanding and skill. A "press the button, let George do the rest" photographer needs little or no technical knowledge of photography. A zone system photographer takes more responsibility. He visualizes before he presses the button, and afterwards calibrates for predictable print values.

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