When I Have A Camera In My

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.

I Dream That Someday The Step Between My Mind And My Finger Will No Longer Be Needed. And That Simply By Blinking My Eyes, I Shall Make Pictures. Then, I Think, I Shall Really Have Become A Photographer.

Today's Photographers Think Differently. Many Can't See Real Light Anymore. They Think Only In Terms Of Strobe - Sure, It All Looks Beautiful But It's Not Really Seeing. If You Have The Eyes To See It, The Nuances Of Light Are Already There On The Subject's Face. If Your Thinking Is Confined To Strobe Light Sources, Your Palette Becomes Very Mean - Which Is The Reason I Photograph Only In Available Light.

It's Important To Understand It's Ok To Control The Subject. If Most Editorial Stories Were Photographed Just As They Are, Editors Would End Up Throwing Most In The Waste Basket. You Have To Work Hard At Making An Editorial Picture. You Need To Re-stage Things, Rearrange Things So That They Work For The Story, With Truth And Without Lying.

I Don't Like To Work With Assistants. I'm Already One Too Many; The Camera Alone Would Be Enough.
