Those Who Call Themselves Art Photographers Are

Those Who Call Themselves Art Photographers Are Pompous, Arrogant Egoists.

A Lot Of Photographers Think That If They Buy A Better Camera They'll Be Able To Take Better Photographs. A Better Camera Won't Do A Thing For You If You Don't Have Anything In Your Head Or In Your Heart.

Visual Ideas Combined With Technology Combined With Personal Interpretation Equals Photography. Each Must Hold It's Own; If It Doesn't, The Thing Collapses.

Influences Come From Everywhere But When You Are Actually Shooting You Work Primarily By Instinct. But What Is Instinct? It Is A Lifetime Accumulation Of Influence: Experience, Knowledge, Seeing And Hearing. There Is Little Time For Reflection In Taking A Photograph. All Your Experiences Come To A Peak And You Work On Two Levels: Conscious And Unconscious.
