I Want To Be A Mouse In

I Don't Like To Work With Assistants. I'm Already One Too Many; The Camera Alone Would Be Enough.

Another Picture I Hope To Be Remembered By Is This One Of The Drum Major Rehearsing At The University Of Michigan. It Was Early In This Morning, And I Saw A Little Boy Running After Him, All The Faculty Children In The Playing Field Ran After The Boy, And I Ran After Them. This Is A Completely Spontaneous, Unstaged Picture.

I Dream That Someday The Step Between My Mind And My Finger Will No Longer Be Needed. And That Simply By Blinking My Eyes, I Shall Make Pictures. Then, I Think, I Shall Really Have Become A Photographer.

We Are Only Beginning To Learn What To Say In A Photograph. The World We Live In Is A Succession Of Fleeting Moments, Any One Of Which Might Say Something Significant.

Once The Amateur's Naive Approach And Humble Willingness To Learn Fades Away, The Creative Spirit Of Good Photography Dies With It. Every Professional Should Remain Always In His Heart An Amateur.
