"With the selfies, a photographer has finally found his place in a photograph."

"Unlike any other visual image, a photograph is not a rendering, an imitation or an interpretation of its subject, but actually a trace of it. No painting or drawing, however naturalist, belongs to its subject in the way that a photograph does."

"Today my passion is still black and white. Today if I have an array of cameras in front of me the one I would reach for that I would feel most comfortable with would be a 4 X 5 View camera. I was once working in a sort of soft light situation."

"Today, I'm very careful not to mention very specific locations when I write or give captions."

"One should really use the camera as though tomorrow you'd be stricken blind."
