What America Needs Is A Political Revolution.

Many Photographers Are Apt To Confuse Color With Noise, And To Congratulate Themselves When They Have Almost Blown You Down With Screeching Hues Alone-a Bebop Of Electric Blues, Furious Reds, And Poison Greens.

With The Camera, It's All Or Nothing. You Either Get What You're After At Once, Or What You Do Has To Be Worthless. I Don't Think The Essence Of Photography Has The Hand In It So Much. The Essence Is Done Very Quietly With A Flash Of The Mind, And With A Machine. I Think Too That Photography Is Editing, Editing After The Taking. After Knowing What To Take, You Have To Do The Editing.

I Say Half Jokingly That Photography Is The Most Difficult Of The Arts. It Does Require A Certain Arrogance To See And To Choose. I Feel Myself Walking On A Tightrope Instead Of On The Ground.

Leaving Aside The Mysteries And The Inequities Of Human Talent, Brains, Taste, And Reputations, The Matter Of Art In Photography May Come Down To This: It Is The Capture And Projection Of The Delights Of Seeing; It Is The Defining Of Observation Full And Felt.
