The Only Nature I'm Interested In Is

Almost Inevitably There Are Tensions In The Picture, Tensions Between The Outside World And The Inside World. For Me, A Successful Picture Resolves These Tensions Without Eliminating Them.

Photography Is A Way Of Feeling, Of Touching, Of Loving. What You Have Caught On Film Is Captured Forever... It Remembers Little Things, Long After You Have Forgotten Everything.

When I Make A Photograph I Want It To Be An Altogether New Object, Complete And Self-contained, Whose Basic Condition Is Order (unlike The World Of Events And Actions Whose Permanent Condition Is Change And Disorder).

If You Look Very Intensely And Slowly Things Will Happen That You Never Dreamed Of Before.

For Some Reason Or Other There Was In Me The Desire To See The World Clean And Fresh And Alive, As Primitive Things Are Clean And Fresh And Alive. The So-called Documentary Picture Left Me Wanting Something.
