Character, Like A Photograph, Develops In Darkness.

My Chief Joy Is To Photograph The Great In Heart, In Mind, And In Spirit, Whether They Be Famous Or Humble.

My Personal Interest In Ordinary People Is Unlimited, But I Am Fascinated By The Challenge Of Portraying True Greatness Adequately With My Camera.

It Should Be The Aim Of Every Photographer To Make A Single Exposure That Shows Everything About The Subject. I Have Been Told That My Portrait Of Churchill Is An Example Of This.

If It's A Likeness, Alone, It's Not A Success. If, Through My Portraits, You Can Come To Know The Subjects More Meaningfully, If It Synthesizes Your Feelings Toward Someone Whose Work Has Imprinted Itself On Your Mind--if You See A Photograph And Say, 'yes, This Is The Person,' With A Little New Insight--that Is A Beautiful Experience.

The Art Is The Challenge Which You Must Meet Every Day: The Technique You Should Learn To Control With Time. The Science And The Art Of Photography Are Really One, And Not Opposed To Each Other.
