I Wanted So Much To Write That

Somewhere In Our Search For Reality We Have Passed Something By, Something Important That We No Longer Find Amid The Bits And Pieces Of Disassembled Matter-something Vital That We Cannot Build Out Of These Parts. There Is Surely Something Else, Some Piece Of Divinity In Us, Something That Was Before The Elements, And That Owes No Homage To The Sun.

The Meaning Of Quality In Photography's Best Pictures Lies Written In The Language Of Vision. That Language Is Learned By Chance, Not System.

When You Say Documentary, You Have To Have A Sophisticated Ear To Receive That Word. It Should Be Documentary Style, Because Documentary Is Police Photography Of A Scene And A Murder ... That's A Real Document. You See, Art Is Really Useless, And A Document Has Use. And Therefore, Art Is Never A Document, But It Can Adopt That Style. I Do It. I'm Called A Documentary Photographer. But That Presupposes A Quite Subtle Knowledge Of This Distinction.

Good Photography Is Unpretentious.
