It's easy to photograph light reflecting from a surface, the truly hard part is capturing the light in the air.

That’s my idea of what a portrait ought to be, anonymous and documentary and a straightforward picture of mankind.

The meaning of quality in photography's best pictures lies written in the language of vision. That language is learned by chance, not system.

It is the way to educate your eye and more. Stare, pry, listen, eavesdrop.

Stare, pry, listen, eavesdrop. Die knowing something. You are not here long.

Whether he is an artist or not, the photographer is a joyous sensualist, for the simple reason that the eye traffics in feelings, not in thoughts.
