The Eye Traffics In Feelings, Not In

I Wanted So Much To Write That I Couldn't Write A Word.

You See, A Document Has Use, Whereas Art Is Really Useless. Therefore Art Is Never A Document, Although It Can Adopt That Style.

I Say Half Jokingly That Photography Is The Most Difficult Of The Arts. It Does Require A Certain Arrogance To See And To Choose. I Feel Myself Walking On A Tightrope Instead Of On The Ground.

I Began To Wonder - I Knew I Was An Artist Or Wanted To Be One - But I Was Wondering Whether I Really Was An Artist. I Was Doing Such Ordinary Things That I Could Feel The Difference. Most People Would Look At Those Things And Say, 'well, That's Nothing. What Did You Do That For? That's Just A Wreck Of A Car Or A Wreck Of A Man. That's Nothing. That Isn't Art.' They Don't Say That Anymore.

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