I can tell you for me it goes on forever. There are some things you can't ever find out. You can't find out in one life either.

I wish more people felt that photography was an adventure the same as life itself and felt that their individual feelings were worth expressing. To me, that makes photography more exciting.

I guess I've shot about 40,000 negatives and of these I have about 800 pictures I like.

Experience is the best teacher of all. And for that, there are no guarantees that one will become an artist. Only the journey matters.

If you choose your subject selectively - intuitively - the camera can write poetry.

To be a photographer, one must photograph. No amount of book learning, no checklist of seminars attended, can substitute for the simple act of making pictures.

A man's got to know his limitations.

I’ve always said, ‘I have nothing to say, only to add.’ And it’s with each addition that the writing gets done. The first draft of anything is really just a track.

Too many lives are needed to make just one.

Occasionally the impossible happens; this is a truism that accounts for much of what we call good luck; and also, bad.

The science of fossil shells is the first step towards the study of the earth.

I have to remember to not criticize other networks for other shows when I'm doing interviews because some day I'm going to be going to them, looking for a job, I'm assuming.

I didn't go to college.
