I Have To Be As Much Diplomat

Another Picture I Hope To Be Remembered By Is This One Of The Drum Major Rehearsing At The University Of Michigan. It Was Early In This Morning, And I Saw A Little Boy Running After Him, All The Faculty Children In The Playing Field Ran After The Boy, And I Ran After Them. This Is A Completely Spontaneous, Unstaged Picture.

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.

My Style Hasn't Changed Much In All These Sixty Years. I Still Use, Most Of The Time, Existing Light And Try Not To Push People Around. I Have To Be As Much A Diplomat As A Photographer. People Don't Often Take Me Seriously Because I Carry So Little Equipment And Make So Little Fuss... I Never Carried A Lot Of Equipment. My Motto Has Always Been, "keep It Simple".

I Have To Be As Much Diplomat As A Photographer.

We Are Only Beginning To Learn What To Say In A Photograph. The World We Live In Is A Succession Of Fleeting Moments, Any One Of Which Might Say Something Significant.
