The Moment An Emotion Or Fact Is

I Can See Myself As A Very Old Man In A Terrific Wheelchair. Only, I Won't Be Photographing The Tree Outside My Window, The Way Steichen Did. I'll Be Photographing Other Old People.

A Photographic Portrait Is A Picture Of Someone Who Knows He Is Being Photographed

My Parents Put The New Yorker In My Crib. I Saw Vogue And Vanity Fair Around The House Before I Could Read.

The Way Someone Who's Being Photographed Presents Himself To The Camera, And The Effect Of The Photographer's Response On That Presence, Is What The Making Of A Portrait Is All About.

When You Pose For A Photograph, It's Behind A Smile That Isn't Yours. You Are Angry And Hungry And Alive. What I Value In You Is That Intensity. I Want To Make Portraits As Intense As People.
