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.

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.

Photography is an adventure just as life is an adventure. If man wishes to express himself photographically, he must understand, surely to a certain extent, his relationship to life.

It takes me a long time to change. I don't think you can just go out and figure out a bunch of visual ideas and photograph. The change happens in living and not through thinking.

I do believe strongly in photography and hope by following it intuitively that when the photographs are looked at they will touch the spirit in people.

Photography is an adventure just as life is an adventure.

A man's got to know his limitations.

Every time I talked about making a picture I didn't do it. I had already done it - talking about it! I quit talking.

May my silences become more accurate.

What is virtue but the Trade Unionism of the married?

Go to the cross of Christ, all you that want to be delivered from the power of selfishness.

Your luck goes up and down like swings and roundabouts

Baseball was my refuge. When I came on the field, I did my job, and did the best I could and focused on that. Then I went home and I was miserable. That was pretty much my routine every day.?

If I should ever die, God forbid, I hope you will say, 'Kurt is up in heaven now.' That's my favorite joke.

I like my body, I like to have fun with what I put on, but I also want to remain classic. So I guess my signature is sexy and eclectic but classic.

We are people with lives, not consumers with lifestyles.

People have to learn sometimes not only how much the heart, but how much the head, can bear.

The dead should be judged like criminals, impartially, but they should be allowed the benefit of the doubt.
