There can be no doubt that probability increases with practice. Fortune favours the brave, fortune favours the prepared mind, and fortune favours those who work the hardest.

Nothing is ever the same twice because everything is always gone forever, and yet each moment has infinite photographic possibilities.

I often think of my work as visual haiku. It is an attempt to evoke and suggest through as few elements as possible rather than to describe with tremendous detail.

I gravitate towards places where humans have been and are no more, to the edge of man's influence, where the elements are taking over or covering man's traces.

We see in colour all the time. Everything around us is in colour. Black and white is therefore immediately an interpretation of the world, rather than a copy.

Perhaps most intriguing of all is that it is possible to photograph what is impossible for the human eye to see - cumulative time.

The golden rule in the arts, as far as I am concerned, is that all rules are meant to be broken.

I believe that photographers should be passionate, determined, disciplined and ready to seek out their own styles and identities.

Parks and gardens are the quintessential intimate landscapes. People use them all the time, leaving their energy and memories behind. It's what's left behind that I like to photograph.

I don't have anything against colour. It is just not my first preference. I have always found black and white photographs to be quieter and more mysterious than those made in colour.

What but a pestilential vapour can hover over society when its chief director is only instructed in the invention of crimes, or the stupid routine of childish ceremonies?

I want to know what passion is. I want to feel something strongly.

If we can let ourselves, all of us, be united by the simple fact of having a difference, we will be bigger and stronger and more powerful than anyone who might otherwise make us feel small.

I continued, as was my wont, to smile in his face, and he did not perceive that my smile now was at the thought of his immolation.

Actions are the seed of fate deeds grow into destiny.

God does not patch up the old life, or make certain repairs on the old life; He gives a new life, through the new birth.

Ethics seems a morass which we have to cross, but get hopelessly bogged in when we make the attempt.

In some respects, inside information is a form of financial steroid. It is unfair: it is offensive; it is unlawful; and it puts a black mark on the entire enterprise.

I think my song that reminds me of Mama is "I'm A Survivor" because she is one.

It's important to have a plan, a big picture. You can deviate from it or change it completely, but it gives you something to work for.
