Taking The Photograph Is The Easiest Part

Photography Is Very Presumptuous. Photographers Are Always Photographing Other People's Lives - Something They Know Nothing About - And Drawing Great Inferences Into It.

How Foolish Of Me To Believe That It Would Be That Easy. I Had Confused The Appearance Of Trees And Automobiles, And People With A Reality Itself, And Believed That A Photograph Of These Appearances To Be A Photograph Of It. It Is A Melancholy Truth That I Will Never Be Able To Photograph It And Can Only Fail. I Am A Reflection Photographing Other Reflections Within A Reflection. To Photograph Reality Is To Photograph Nothing.

I Think That The Photographer Must Completely Control His Picture And Bring To It All His Personality, And In This Area Most Photographs Never Transcend Being Just Snapshots. When A Great Photographer Does Infuse The Snapshot With His Personality And Vision, It Can Be Transformed Into Something Truly Moving And Beautiful.

Art Has To Address Eternal Issues.

I Don't Get Straight People, But I Understand What They Look Like.
