The first word I would remove from the folklore of journalism is the word objective.

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.

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

My pictures are complex and so am I. When I am almost symbolistic in writing, there is a more limiting difference’s of accepting, while I can be even more complex in the photographs and people can usually accept them within the framework of their own limitations or lack of limitations – there is no dictionary meaning… they can look up for the photographic image and allow it to confuse them.

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

I try to take what voice I have and I give it to those who don’t have one at all.

I can’t stand these damn shows on museum walls with neat little frames, where you look at the images as if they were pieces of art. I want them to be pieces of life!
