Every artist I suppose has a sense of what they think has been the importance of their work. But to ask them to define it is not really a fair question. My real answer would be, the answer is on the wall.

If Ansel Adams gets a thousand dollars a print, I want ten thousand.

The decision as to when to photograph, the actual click of the shutter, is partly controlled from the outside, by the flow of life, but it also comes from the mind and the heart of the artist. The photograph is his vision of the world and expresses, however subtly, his values and convictions.

I think of myself as an explorer who has spent his life on a long voyage of discovery.

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

No matter what lens you use, no matter what speed the film, no matter how you develop it, no matter how you print it, you cannot say more than you can see.

All good art is abstract in its structure.
