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

Did I express my personality? I think that's quite unimportant because it's not people's selves but what they have to say about life that's important.

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)

All good art is abstract in its structure.

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

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