I am probably afraid that some spectator will not understand my photography - therefore I proceed to make it really less understandable by writing defensibly about it.

If photography were difficult in the true sense . . . that the creation of a simple photograph would entail as much time and effort as the production of a good watercolor or etching -- there would be a vast improvement in total output.

Photography, as a powerful medium of expression and communications, offers an infinite variety of perception, interpretation and execution.

You don't make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.

To the complaint, 'There are no people in these photographs,' I respond, There are always two people: the photographer and the viewer.

Sometimes I arrive just when God's ready to have somone click the shutter.
