"Another great mistake is this; another understandable error is this: living to live the footprints of others when you have your own foot! Live your footprints! You were born unique! If possible, put the shoes of others, (they must fit you however) but don't walk as they walked and as much as possible, don't leave the same footprints they left except you were born to be like them or you can change the face of their footprints into a unique artifact!"
"I'd rather be interesting, original, & unique then follow the pack. Revel in who you truly are & be liberated!"
"To be unique calls for being unique in such a way that your uniqueness doesn't make others appear inferior, and a uniqueness that doesn't crave for anything apart from your own thing."

This is all very provoking to Miss Scatcherd, who is naturally neat, puncutal, and particular."

"The challenge for me has first been to see things as they are, whether a portrait, a city street, or a bouncing ball. In a word, I have tried to be objective."
"Photography can never grow up if it imitates some other medium. It has to walk alone; it has to be itself."
