In Order To Put Meaning Back Into

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

Photography Is Not Cute Cats, Nor Nudes, Motherhood Or Arrangements Of Manufactured Products. Under No Circumstances It Is Anything Ever Anywhere Near A Beach.

In Order To Put Meaning Back Into Our Lives, We Should Recognize Illusions For What They Are, And We Should Reach Out And Touch The Fabric Of Reality.

Incidentally, Part Of A Photographer’s Gift Should Be With People. You Can Do Some Wonderful Work If You Know How To Make People Understand What You’re Doing And Feel All Right About It, And You Can Do Terrible Work If You Put Them On The Defense, Which They All Are At The Beginning. You’ve Got To Take Them Off Their Defensive Attitude And Make Them Participate.
