You Can't Photograph If You're Not In

Never Have I Found The Limits Of The Photographic Potential. Every Horizon, Upon Being Reached, Reveals Another Beckoning In The Distance. Always, I Am On The Threshold.

The Journalistic Photographer Can Have No Other Than A Personal Approach; And It Is Impossible For Him To Be Completely Objective. Honest—yes. Objective—no.

I've Never Made Any Picture, Good Or Bad, Without Paying For It In Emotional Turmoil.

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.

Negatives Are The Notebooks, The Jottings, The False Starts, The Whims, The Poor Drafts, And The Good Draft But Never The Completed Version Of The Work The Print And A Proper One Is The Only Completed Photograph, Whether It Is Specifically Shaded For Reproduction, Or For A Museum Wall.
