It is not enough to photograph the obviously picturesque.

Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still.

The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.

To know ahead of time what you're looking for means you're then only photographing your own preconceptions, which is very limiting, and often false.

To me, beauty appears when one feels deeply, and art is an act of total attention.

You know there are moments such as these when time stands still and all you do is hold your breath and hope it will wait for you.

Pick a theme and work it to exhaustion... the subject must be something you truly love or truly hate.

One should really use the camera as though tomorrow you'd be stricken blind.

Seeing is more than a physiological phenomenon... We see not only with our eyes but with all that we are and all that our culture is. The artist is a professional see-er.

The good photograph is not the object, the consequences of the photograph are the objects.

Life, for people, begins to crumble on the edges; they don't realize it.

We lose the peace of years when we hunt after the rapture of moments.

According to success do we gain a reputation for judgement.

My parents grew up working class, but in that way that working class families do, they spent a fortune on education to better me.

Old father, old artificer, stand me now and ever in good stead.

They cannot take away our self-respect if we do not give it to them.

You learn just as much from your failures. Sometimes you love your failures even more.
