What's the best type of light? Why that would be available light... and by available light I mean any damn light is available.

Most photographers seem to operate with a pane of glass between themselves and their subjects. They just can't get inside and know the subject.

I am an idealist. I often feel I would like to be an artist in an ivory tower. Yet it is imperative that I speak to people, so I must desert that ivory tower. To do this, I am a journalist - a photojournalist. But I am always torn between the attitude of the journalist, who is a recorder of facts, and the artist, who is often necessarily at odds with the facts. My principle concern is for honesty, above all honesty with myself.

I didn’t write the rules. Why would I follow them?

You can't photograph if you're not in love.

I am constantly torn between the attitude of the conscientious journalist who is a recorder and interpreter of the facts and of the creative artist who often is necessarily at poetic odds with the literal facts.

What use having a great depth of field, if there is not an adequate depth of feeling?
