Photography is still a very new medium and everything must be tried and dare.

Photography is not a sport. It has no rules. Everything must be dared and tried!

I am not interested in rules or conventions. Photography is not a sport.

A photographer must be prepared to catch and hold on to those elements which give distinction to the subject or lend it atmosphere.

Photography has no rules, it is not a sport. It is the result which counts, no matter how it is achieved.

The photographer must possess and preserve the receptive faculties of a child who looks at the world for the first time.

And only the photographer himself knows the effect he wants. He should know by instinct, grounded in experience, what subjects are enhanced by hard or soft, light or dark treatment.

No amount of toying with shades of print or with printing papers will transform a commonplace photograph into anything other than a commonplace photograph.

I consider it essential that the photographer should do his own printing and enlarging. The final effect of the finished print depends so much on these operations.

Photographers should follow their own judgment, and not the fads and dictates of others.

I will tell everyone I know to come [to the library]. This place saves lives.

I do feel that in modern society that still is the best way to survive. Whatever it is, just keep doing something, because complete stillness or inactivity is more like death than death.

If we want liberation, we must rewrite the Sleeping Beauty myth. No one is coming and no one else is to blame.

Trust me, there are as many ways of living as there are men, and one is no more fit to lead another, than a bird to lead a fish, or a fish a quadruped.

I never fit in with my peer group. I never hung out with kids my age - I always wanted to hang out with my mom and her girlfriends.

People used to share things with e-mail on a massive scale. If you remember e-mail forwards from the late ’90s, it was a terrible way to share content.

Just because you shot Jesse James, don't make you Jesse James.

At first I was queasy; I'll never forget the sound of the scalpel cutting a body open. But it was so cool trying to work out how these people died.

I didn't want a divorce but had to because of circumstance.

The world values power, comfort, success, and recognition. Jesus frees us to value grief, sacrifice, weakness, and exclusion.
