I think nearly every artist continually wants to reach the edge of nothingness - the point where you can’t go any further.

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.

It’s precisely the people who are considered the least ‘likely’ leaders who end up inspiring others the most. Everyday people and everyday acts of courage eventually change everything.

There is no advice that I can give you, you will just have to trust yourself that when the time comes, you'll make the right decision.

No one can avoid a challenge in life without breeding regret, and regret is the arsenic of life.

We can decide to let our trials crush us, or we can convert them to new forces of good.
