Photography
"Photography suits the temper of this age - of active bodies and minds. It is a perfect medium for one whose mind is teeming with ideas, imagery, for a prolific worker who would be slowed down by painting or sculpting, for one who sees quickly and acts decisively, accurately."
Age
"My own eyes are no more than scouts on a preliminary search, for the camera's eye may entirely change my idea."
Change

Work
"Photography to the amateur is recreation, to the professional it is work, and hard work too, no matter how pleasurable it my be."
