"I picked up a camera because it was my choice of weapon against what I hated most about the universe: racism, intolerance, poverty."

"I am not interested in showing my work to photographers anymore, but to people outside the photo-clique."  My pictures are not escapes from reality, but a contemplation of reality, so I can experience life in a deeper way."

"You fill up the frame with feelings, energy, discovery and risk, and leave room enough for someone else to get in there.  Photography is about being exquisitely present. "

"I don't believe a person has a style.  What a person has is a way of photographing what is inside them. What is there comes out."

“There is one thing the photograph must contain, the humanity of the moment.”  Description goes here

"There is a creative fraction of a second when you are taking a picture.  Your eye must see a  composition or an expression that life itself offers you, and you must know with intuition when to click the camera. That is the moment of the photographer is creative.  Oop! The Moment!  Once you miss it, it is gone forever."Description goes here

"Leaving aside the mysteries and the inequities of human talent, brains, taste, and reputations, the matter of art in photography may come down to this: it is the capture and projection of the delights of seeing;  it is the defining of observation full and felt. "Description goes here

“I am not interested in shooting new things. I am interested to see things new.  In this way I am a photographer with a problem with the problems of a painter. The desire is to find the limiation of the camera so I can overcome them.”escription goes here

 "I have never taken a picture I intended. They are always better or worse.” 

"Making a definitive declaration or meaning kills the photograph."

“When people see you, the picture is gone for good. You cannot repeat it.  Once people have noticed you, you have to give up.  That's it.  You've blew it."

“A picture is what it is, and I have never noticed that it helps to talk about them, much less volunteer information in words. It wouldn't make sense to explain them. Kinda diminish them. People always want to know when something was taken, where it was taken and God knows why it was taken."

“When I take a black-and-white portrait, it's not particularly meant to please you. It's meant to talk to you; it's meant to shame you. It's meant to scream out at you, and it has a message.”

“I would rather photograph an idea than an object, a dream rather than an object.”

“If you really have something to say, it better to be behind the camera than in front of it.”
