I have a vision of life, and I try to find equivalents for it in the form of photographs.

Photographers must learn not to be ashamed to have their photographs look like photographs.

We had many books and pictures... my parents' way of life doubtless left a lasting impression on me. They created an atmosphere in which a certain kind of freedom could exist. This may well account for my seeking a related sense of liberty as I grew up.

Before the people at large, and for that matter, the artists themselves, understand what photography really means, as I understand that term, it is essential for them to be taught the real meaning of art.

Everything is relative except relatives, and they are absolute.

I am not a painter, nor an artist. Therefore I can see straight, and that may be my undoing.
