The Important Thing Is Not The Camera

In New York’s Times Square A White-clad Girl Clutches Her Purse And Skirt As An Uninhibited Sailor Plants His Lips Squarely On Hers.

I Don't Like To Work With Assistants. I'm Already One Too Many; The Camera Alone Would Be Enough.

When I Photographed Marilyn Monroe, I Mixed Up My Cameras - One Had Black-and-white Film, The Other Color. I Took Many Pictures. Only Two Color Ones Came Out All Right. My Favorite Picture Of Marilyn Hangs Always On The Wall In My Office. It Was Taken On The Little Patio Of Her Hollywood House.

I See Pictures All The Time. I Could Stay For Hours And Watch A Raindrop.

With Photography, Everything Is In The Eye And These Days I Feel Young Photographers Are Missing The Point A Bit. People Always Ask About Cameras But It Doesn't Matter What Camera You Have. You Can Have The Most Modern Camera In The World But If You Don't Have An Eye, The Camera Is Worthless. Young People Know More About Modern Cameras And Lighting Than I Do. When I Started Out In Photography I Didn't Own An Exposure Meter - I Couldn't , They Didn't Exist! I Had To Guess.
