It's In Trying To Direct The Traffic

How Many Pictures Have You Torn Up Because You Hate Them? What Ends Up In Your Scrapbook? The Pictures Where You Look Like A Good Guy And A Good Family Man, And The Children Look Adorable - And They're Screaming The Next Minute. I've Never Seen A Family Album Of Screaming People.

I Think Charm Is The Ability To Be Truly Interested In Other People

I Hate Cameras. They Interfere, They’re Always In The Way. I Wish: If I Could Just Work With My Eyes Alone. To Get A Satisfactory Print, One That Contains All That You Intended, Is Very Often More Difficult And Dangerous Than The Sitting Itself. When I’m Photographing, I Immediately Know When I’ve Got The Image I Really Want. But To Get The Image Out Of The Camera And Into The Open, Is Another Matter.

If Each Photograph Steals A Bit Of The Soul, Isn't It Possible That I Give Up Pieces Of Mine Every Time I Take A Picture?

When I Was A Boy, My Family Took Great Care With Our Snapshots. We Really Planned Them. We Made Compositions. We Posed In Front Of Expensive Cars, Homes, That Werent Ours. We Borrowed Dogs. Almost Every Family Picture Taken Of Us When I Was Young Had A Different Borrowed Dog In It.
