Look And Think Before Opening The Shutter.

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.

Within Every Man And Woman A Secret Is Hidden, And As A Photographer It Is My Task To Reveal It If I Can. The Revelation, If It Comes At All, Will Come In A Small Fraction Of A Second With An Unconscious Gesture, A Gleam Of The Eye, A Brief Lifting Of The Mask That All Humans Wear To Conceal Their Innermost Selves From The World. In That Fleeting Interval Of Opportunity The Photographer Must Act Or Lose His Prize.

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

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.

We May Never Be Able To Pay Directly For The Gifts Of True Friendship - But Pay We Must, Even Though We Make Our Payment To Someone Who Owes Us Nothing, In Some Other Place And At Some Other Time.
