The photographer must bear the responsibility for his work and its effect …[for] photographic journalism, because of its tremendous audience reached by publications using it, has more influence on public thinking than any other branch of photography.

With considerable soul searching, that to the utmost of my ability, I have let truth be the prejudice.

I think photojournalism is documentary photography with a purpose.

The journalistic photographer can have no other than a personal approach; and it is impossible for him to be completely objective. Honest—yes. Objective—no.

In music I still prefer the minor key, and in printing I like the light coming from the dark. I like pictures that surmount the darkness, and many of my photographs are that way. It is the way I see photographically. For practical reasons, I think it looks better in print too.

Passion is in all great searches and is necessary to all creative endeavors.

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