Life Is Once. Forever.

Nobody Takes Photographs, Photographs Take You.

Pictures Should Never Be Posed. They Are 'revealed' So Must Be Accepted As They Are. Left Alone.

The Camera Is For Us A Tool, Not A Pretty Mechanical Toy ... People Think Far Too Much About Techniques And Not Enough About Seeing.

To Take Photographs Means To Recognize - Simultaneously And Within A Fraction Of A Second - Both The Fact Itself And The Rigorous Organization Of Visually Perceived Forms That Give It Meaning. It Is Putting One's Head, One's Eye And One's Heart On The Same Axis.

One Eye Of The Photographer Looks Wide Open Through The Viewfinder, The Other, The Closed Looks Into His Own Soul.
