A Documentary Photograph Is Not A Factual

Photography Today Appears To Be In A State Of Flight... The Familiar Is Made Strange, The Unfamiliar Grotesque. The Amateur Forces His Sundays Into A Series Of Unnatural Poses.

I Believe That What We Call Beautiful Is Generally A By-product.

Seeing Is More Than A Physiological Phenomenon... We See Not Only With Our Eyes But With All That We Are And All That Our Culture Is. The Artist Is A Professional See-er.

When You Are Doing A Lot Of Hard Fast Field Work, It's A Physical Necessity To Forget Every Day. You Can't Try To Remember It In Any Continuity. You Get So Burdened If You Try To Do It The Other Way. You Can't Dictate To Your Material... We Found Our Way In, Slid In On The Edges. We Used Our Hunches. And It Was Hard, Hard Living.

To Know Ahead Of Time What You're Looking For Means You're Then Only Photographing Your Own Preconceptions, Which Is Very Limiting, And Often False.
