When I Have A Camera In My

The Way I Would Describe A Pictorial Is That It Is A Picture That Makes Everybody Say ‘aaaaah,’ With Five Vowels When They See It. It Is Something You Would Like To Hang On The Wall. The French Word ‘photogenique’ Defines It Better Than Anything In English. It Is A Picture Which Must Have Quality, Drama, And It Must, In Addition, Be As Good Technically As You Can Possible Make It.

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.

The Important Thing Is Not The Camera But The Eye.

Yes, I Sold Buttons To Earn Living. But I Took Pictures To Keep On Living. Pictures Are My Life – As Necessary As Eating Or Breathing.

I Will Be Remembered When I'm In Heaven. People Won't Remember My Name, But They Will Know The Photographer Who Did That Picture Of That Nurse Being Kissed By The Sailor At The End Of World War Ii. Everybody Remembers That.
