The Only Nature I'm Interested In Is

Photography Is A Way Of Feeling, Of Touching, Of Loving. What You Have Caught On Film Is Captured Forever... It Remembers Little Things, Long After You Have Forgotten Everything.

The Business Of Making A Photograph May Be Said In Simple Terms To Consist Of Three Elements: The Objective World (whose Permanent Condition Is Change And Disorder), The Sheet Of Paper On Which The Picture Will Be Realized, And The Experience Which Brings Them Together.

As Photographers, We Must Learn To Relax Our Beliefs. Move On Objects With Your Eye Straight On, To The Left, Around On The Right. Watch Them Grow Large As They Approach, Group And Regroup As You Shift Your Position. Relationships Gradually Emerge And Sometimes Assert Themselves With Finality. And That's Your Picture.

It Is No Longer A Matter Of Expressing Reality, But Of Expressing What One Feels About Reality.

For Some Reason Or Other There Was In Me The Desire To See The World Clean And Fresh And Alive, As Primitive Things Are Clean And Fresh And Alive. The So-called Documentary Picture Left Me Wanting Something.
