~ I just think it's important to be direct and honest with people about why you're photographing them and what you're doing. After all, you are taking some of their soul. ~
~ Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face, the beauty of the earth and skies that man has inherited, and the wealth and confusion man has created. It is a major force in explaining man to man. ~
~ The photograph itself doesn't interest me. I want only to capture a minute part of reality. ~
~ Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again. ~
~ A photograph is like the recipe - a memory the finished dish. ~
~ Everyone has a photographic memory, but not everyone has film. ~
~ Photographs that transcend but do not deny their literal situation appeal to me. ~
~ No place is boring, if you've had a good night's sleep and have a pocket full of unexposed film ~
~ Often while traveling with a camera we arrive just as the sun slips over the horizon of a moment, too late to expose film, only time enough to expose our hearts ~
~ A good snapshot stops a moment from running away. ~
~ I hate cameras. They are so much more sure than I am about everything. ~
~ All photos are accurate. None of them is the truth. ~
