If Anyone Gets In My Way When

The Element Of Discovery Is Very Important. I Don't Repeat Myself Well. I Want And Need That Stimulus Of Walking Forward From One New World To Another. There Is Something Demoralizing About Going Back To A Place To Retake Pictures. You Can No Longer See Your Subjects In A Fresh Eye; You Keep Comparing Them With The Pictures You Hold In Your Memory. [the] World Was Full Of Discoveries Waiting To Be Made...(as A Photographer) I Could Share The Things I Saw And Learned...you Would React To Something All Others Might Walk By.

It Seems To Me That While It Is Very Important To Get A Striking Picture Of A Line Of Smoke Stacks Or A Row Of Dynamos, It Is Becoming More And More Important To Reflect That Life That Goes On Behind These Photographs. (1935)

Utter Truth Is Essential...and To Get That Truth May Take A Lot Of Searching And Long Hours.

Nothing Attracts Me Like A Closed Door.

Even While You're In Dead Earnest About Your Work, You Must Approach It With A Feeling Of Freedom And Joy; You Must Be Loose-jointed, Like A Relaxed Athlete.
