All dancers are, by and large, a photographer's dream. They communicate with their bodies and they are trained to be completely responsive to a collaborative situation.

I didn't want to let women down. One of the stereotypes I see breaking is the idea of aging and older women not being beautiful.

One doesn't stop seeing. One doesn't stop framing. It doesn't turn off and turn on. It's on all the time.

Everyone has a point of view. Some people call it style, but what we're really talking about is the guts of a photograph. When you trust your point of view, that's when you start taking pictures.

When I say I want to photograph someone, what it really means is that I'd like to know them. Anyone I know I photograph.

A thing that you see in my pictures is that I was not afraid to fall in love with these people.

Things happen in front of you. That's perhaps the most wonderful and mysterious aspect of photography.

A lot can be told from what happens in between the main moments.

Nature is so powerful, so strong. Capturing its essence is not easy - your work becomes a dance with light and the weather. It takes you to a place within yourself.

I feel a responsibility to my backyard. I want it to be taken care of and protected.

The hallmark of great dreams is not their possibility but their impossibility, and the fact that it is the very notion of the ‘impossible’ that inspires us to go and accomplish them anyway.

It seems that in the world of politics, lying is not such a big deal.

Good people know about both good and evil: bad people do not know about either.

If a lunatic scribbles a jumble of mathematical symbols it does not follow that the writing means anything merely because to the inexpert eye it is indistinguishable from higher mathematics.

Over the years of much self-hate, I came to realize that whether sexuality was in my life or not, it didn't seem to matter. I just surrendered the whole thing to God.

When the will loves anything that is below it in dignity, it degrades itself.

I have always been the lover - never the beloved - and I have spent much of my life waiting for trains, planes, boats, footsteps, doorbells, letters, telephones, snow, rain, thunder.

I spent a couple of months just riding a bike doing my own training in the streets.
