What Drove Me And Kept Me Going

What Drove Me And Kept Me Going Over The Decades? If I Had To Use A Single Word, It Would Be 'curiosity.

I Didn't Want To Be A Woman Photographer. That Would Limit Me. I Wanted To Be A Photographer Who Was A Woman, With All The World Open To My Camera.

If A Photographer Cares About The People Before The Lens And Is Compassionate, Much Is Given. It Is The Photographer, Not The Camera, That Is The Instrument.

Themes Recur Again And Again In My Work.

It Doesn’t Matter If You Use A Box Camera Or A Leica, The Important Thing Is What Motivates You When You Are Photographing. What I Have Tried To Do Is Involve The People I Was Photographing. To Have Them Realize Without Saying So, That It Was Up To Them To Give Me Whatever They Wanted To Give Me . . . If They Were Willing To Give, I Was Willing To Photograph.
