"I am not a painter, nor an artist. Therefore I can see straight, and that may be my undoing."

"The goal of art was the vital expression of self."

"Wherever there is light, one can photograph."

"The arts equally have distinct departments, and unless photography has its own possibilities of expression, separate from those of the other arts, it is merely a process, not an art."

"In photography there is a reality so subtle that it becomes more real than reality."
