If I had a picture of two handcuffed criminals being booked, I would cut the picture in half and get five bucks for each.

I am a perfectionist. When I take a picture...it's gotta be good.

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

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.

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.

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

The same camera that photographs a murder scene can photograph a beautiful society affair at a big hotel.
