You become technically proficient whether you want to or not, the more you take pictures.

Many people one meets in life somehow think they know you simply because they're hanging out at the same counter-but they really don't know a thing about you.

I don't look at other photographs much at all. I don't know why. I study my own a lot.

There's plenty of film out there, and quadrillions of cameras that use film - I don't think it makes much sense not to use it. The thing that's going out is the manufacturing of the paper. Incidentally, all these years my wife has told me that I'm color-blind.

I like to photograph democratically.

My friend who I went to boarding school with was interested in photography. He insisted that I buy a camera and marched me downtown.

Unfortunately they're practically all dead. And many were my closest associates: friends, co-directors, whatever you want to say - my partners in crime.
