News photography teaches you to think fast.

It's been a strange [summer].... I was sent by a magazine to photograph famous photographers.... Of course, I included myself.

Many photographers live in a dream world of beautiful backgrounds. It wouldn’t hurt them to get a taste of reality to wake them up.

To me a photograph is a page from life, and that being the case, it must be real.

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

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.

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.
