If the photographer is not a discoverer, then he is not an artist.

All light is available light.

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

Whether a watercolor is inferior to an oil [painting], or whether a drawing, an etching, or a photograph is not as important as either, is inconsequent. To have to despise something in order to respect something else is a sign of impotence.

If the photographer is not a discoverer, then he is not an artist.

To be a photographer you must have something to say about the world.

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