An Artist Must Be Ruthlessly Selfish.

I Didn’t Write The Rules. Why Would I Follow Them?

Most Photographers Seem To Operate With A Pane Of Glass Between Themselves And Their Subjects. They Just Can't Get Inside And Know The Subject.

Many Claim I Am A Photographer Of Tragedy. In The Greater Sense I Am Not, For Though I Often Photograph Where The Tragic Emotion Is Present, The Result Is Almost Invariably Affirmative.

In Music I Still Prefer The Minor Key, And In Printing I Like The Light Coming From The Dark. I Like Pictures That Surmount The Darkness, And Many Of My Photographs Are That Way. It Is The Way I See Photographically. For Practical Reasons, I Think It Looks Better In Print Too.

What Use Having A Great Depth Of Field, If There Is Not An Adequate Depth Of Feeling?
