My Photographs At Best Hold Only A

I Am An Idealist. I Often Feel I Would Like To Be An Artist In An Ivory Tower. Yet It Is Imperative That I Speak To People, So I Must Desert That Ivory Tower. To Do This, I Am A Journalist - A Photojournalist. But I Am Always Torn Between The Attitude Of The Journalist, Who Is A Recorder Of Facts, And The Artist, Who Is Often Necessarily At Odds With The Facts. My Principle Concern Is For Honesty, Above All Honesty With Myself.

The First Word I Would Remove From The Folklore Of Journalism Is The Word Objective.

I Try To Take What Voice I Have And I Give It To Those Who Don’t Have One At All.

What Use Having A Great Depth Of Field, If There Is Not An Adequate Depth Of Feeling?

An Artist Must Be Ruthlessly Selfish.
