My Pictures Are Complex And So Am

I Am Constantly Torn Between The Attitude Of The Conscientious Journalist Who Is A Recorder And Interpreter Of The Facts And Of The Creative Artist Who Often Is Necessarily At Poetic Odds With The Literal Facts.

In Music I Still Prefer The Minor Key, And In Printing I Like The Light Coming From The Dark. I Like Pictures That Surmount The Darkness, And Many Of My Photographs Are That Way. It Is The Way I See Photographically. For Practical Reasons, I Think It Looks Better In Print Too.

You Can't Photograph If You're Not In Love.

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

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.
