Good Photography Is Unpretentious.

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.

... Nature Photographs Downright Bore Me For Some Reason Or Other. I Think: 'oh, Yes. Look At That Sand Dune. What Of It?'

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.

What I Believe Is Really Good In The So-called Documentary Approach To Photography Is The Addition Of Lyricism.[this Quality] Is Usually Produced Unconsciously And Even Unintentionally And Accidentally By The Cameraman.

I Think There Is A Period Of Esthetic Discovery That Happens To A Man And He Can Do All Sorts Of Things At White Heat.
