~ I am always surprised when I see several cameras, a gaggle on lenses, filters, meters, et cetera, rattling around in a soft bag with a complement of refuse and dust. Sometimes the professional is the worst offender! ~
~ To photograph truthfully and effectively is to see beneath the surfaces and record the qualities of nature and humanity which live or are latent in all things ~
~ There is nothing worse than a brilliant image of a fuzzy concept. ~
~ There are always two people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer ~
~ A good photograph is knowing where to stand ~
~ Practice random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty ~
~ The crude creations of mortal thought must finally give place to the glorious forms which we sometimes behold in the camera of divine Mind, where the mental picture is spiritual and eternal. ~
~ Using a camera appeases the anxiety which the work-driven feel about not working when they are on vacation and supposed to be having fun. They have something to do that is like a friendly imitation of work: they can take pictures ~
~ When I first became interested in photography, I thought it was the whole cheese. My idea was to have it recognized as one of the fine arts. Today I don't give a hoot in hell about that. The mission of photography is to explain man to man and each man to himself ~
~ As I progressed further with my project, it became obvious that it was really unimportant where I chose to photograph. The particular place simply provided an excuse to produce work... you can only see what you are ready to see - what mirrors your mind at that particular time ~
~ Photography is 90% sheer, brutal drudgery! ~
~ Photography to the amateur is recreation,
to the professional it is work, and hard work too,
no matter how pleasurable it may be. ~
~ At forty-two I decided to become a photographer because it offered a means of creative thought and action. I didn’t rationalize this, I just felt it intuitively and followed my intuition, which I have never regretted. ~
~ A photograph is neither taken nor seized by force. It offers itself up. It is the photo that takes you. One must not take photos. ~
~ I always thought of photography as a naughty thing to do -- that was one of my favorite things about it, and when I first did it, I felt very perverse. ~
