A natural-born photographer, with hypo in my blood.

To me, pictures are like blintzes - ya gotta get 'em while they're hot.

Anyone who looks for life can find it... and they don't need to photograph ashcans. The average camera fan reminds me of Pollyanna, with a lollypop in one hand and a camera in the other. You can't be a Nice Nelly and take news pictures.

People are so wonderful that a photographer has only to wait for that breathless moment to capture what he wants on film.

There are photographic fanatics, just as there are religious fanatics. They buy a so-called candid camera there is no such thing: it’s the photographer who has to be candid, not the camera.

I had so many unsold murder pictures lying around my room...I felt as if I were renting out a wing of the City Morgue.

I have no chips on my shoulder. I like to be constructive. As I have said, I have inspired many persons to take up photography. As a matter of fact, I inspire myself. (When I take a good picture I give myself a bonus.).
