The artist's world is limitless. It can be found anywhere, far from where he lives or a few feet away. It is always on his doorstep.

Photography is only a new road from a different direction, but moving toward the common goal, which is life.

It is one thing to photograph people. It is another to make others care about them by revealing the core of their humanness.

I like to photograph people who have strength and dignity in their faces. Whatever life has done to them, it hasn’t destroyed them.

Objectivity is of the very essence of photography, its contribution and at the same time its limitation

I don't care how you photograph - use the kitchen mop if you must, but if the product is not true to the laws of photography... you have produced something that is dead. (1923)

I've always wanted to be aware of what's going on around me, and I've wanted to use photography as an instrument of research into and reporting on the life of my own time.
