The Craft Of Photography Is The Key

This Profession [photography] Is Deserving Of Attention And Respect Equal To That Accorded Painting, Literature, Music And Architecture.

I Am Probably Afraid That Some Spectator Will Not Understand My Photography - Therefore I Proceed To Make It Really Less Understandable By Writing Defensibly About It.

You Don't Make A Photograph Just With A Camera. You Bring To The Act Of Photography All The Pictures You Have Seen, The Books You Have Read, The Music You Have Heard, The People You Have Loved.

Millions Of Men Have Lived To Fight, Build Palaces And Boundaries, Shape Destinies And Societies; But The Compelling Force Of All Times Has Been The Force Of Originality And Creation Profoundly Affecting The Roots Of Human Spirit.

The Next Time You Pick Up A Camera Think Of It Not As An Inflexible And Automated Robot, But As A Flexible Instrument Which You Must Understand To Properly Use. An Electronic And Optical Miracle Creates Nothing On Its Own! Whatever Beauty And Excitement It Can Represent Exist In Your Mind And Spirit To Begin With.
