I Want To Be A Mouse In

I Enjoy Traveling And Recording Far-away Places And People With My Camera. But I Also Find It Wonderfully Rewarding To See What I Can Discover Outside My Own Window. You Only Need To Study The Scene With The Eyes Of A Photographer.

I Dream That Someday The Step Between My Mind And My Finger Will No Longer Be Needed. And That Simply By Blinking My Eyes, I Shall Make Pictures. Then, I Think, I Shall Really Have Become A Photographer.

Another Picture I Hope To Be Remembered By Is This One Of The Drum Major Rehearsing At The University Of Michigan. It Was Early In This Morning, And I Saw A Little Boy Running After Him, All The Faculty Children In The Playing Field Ran After The Boy, And I Ran After Them. This Is A Completely Spontaneous, Unstaged Picture.

Photographers Don't Need To Be Aggressive. Some Are. Henry Benson Is Aggressive - But Then He's From Fleet Street. If You Can Talk To People, You Don't Need To Push People Around.

When I Photographed Marilyn Monroe, I Mixed Up My Cameras - One Had Black-and-white Film, The Other Color. I Took Many Pictures. Only Two Color Ones Came Out All Right. My Favorite Picture Of Marilyn Hangs Always On The Wall In My Office. It Was Taken On The Little Patio Of Her Hollywood House.
