I Would That My Photographs Might Be,

The World Just Does Not Fit Conveniently Into The Format Of A 35mm Camera.

The Purpose Of All Art Is To Cause A Deep And Emotion, Also One That Is Entertaining Or Pleasing. Out Of The Depth And Entertainment Comes Value.

Up To And Including The Moment Of Exposure, The Photographer Is Working In An Undeniably Subjective Way. By His Choice Of Technical Approach, By The Selection Of The Subject Matterand By His Decision As To The Exact Cinematic Instant Of Exposure, He Is Blending The Variables Of Interpretation Into An Emotional Whole.

I Am An Idealist. I Often Feel I Would Like To Be An Artist In An Ivory Tower. Yet It Is Imperative That I Speak To People, So I Must Desert That Ivory Tower. To Do This, I Am A Journalist - A Photojournalist. But I Am Always Torn Between The Attitude Of The Journalist, Who Is A Recorder Of Facts, And The Artist, Who Is Often Necessarily At Odds With The Facts. My Principle Concern Is For Honesty, Above All Honesty With Myself.

... To Became Neighbours And Friends Instead Of Journalists. This Is The Way To Make Your Finest Photographs.
