I wanted so much to write that I couldn't write a word.

The secret of photography is, the camera takes on the character and personality of the handler.

Detachment, lack of sentimentality, originality, a lot of things that sound rather empty. I know what they mean. Let's say, "visual impact" may not mean much to anybody. I could point it out though. I mean it's a quality that something has or does not have. Coherence. Well, some things are weak, some things are strong.

What I believe is really good in the so-called documentary approach to photography is the addition of lyricism.[this quality] is usually produced unconsciously and even unintentionally and accidentally by the cameraman.

I think there is a period of esthetic discovery that happens to a man and he can do all sorts of things at white heat.

It is the way to educate your eye and more. Stare, pry, listen, eavesdrop.

I work rather blindly. I have a theory that seems to work with me that some of the best things you ever do sort of come through you. You don't know where you get the impetus and response to what's before your eyes.
