“Photography can only represent the present. Once photographed, the subject becomes part of the past”

“Photography is more than a medium for factual communication of ideas. It is a creative art”

“I always thought good photos were like good jokes. If you have to explain it, it just isn't that good.”

“Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary.”

“You cannot depend on your eyes if your imagination is out of focus”
