It Is No Longer A Matter Of

The Only Nature I'm Interested In Is My Own Nature.

When I Make A Photograph I Want It To Be An Altogether New Object, Complete And Self-contained, Whose Basic Condition Is Order (unlike The World Of Events And Actions Whose Permanent Condition Is Change And Disorder).

For Some Reason Or Other There Was In Me The Desire To See The World Clean And Fresh And Alive, As Primitive Things Are Clean And Fresh And Alive. The So-called Documentary Picture Left Me Wanting Something.

As Photographers, We Must Learn To Relax Our Beliefs. Move On Objects With Your Eye Straight On, To The Left, Around On The Right. Watch Them Grow Large As They Approach, Group And Regroup As You Shift Your Position. Relationships Gradually Emerge And Sometimes Assert Themselves With Finality. And That's Your Picture.

Photography Is A Way Of Feeling, Of Touching, Of Loving.
