"Photography, alone of the arts, seems perfected to serve the desire humans have for a moment - this very moment - to stay."



"As I have practiced it, photography produces pleasure by simplicity. I see something special and show it to the camera. A picture is produced. The moment is held until someone sees it. Then it is theirs."



"My best work is often almost unconscious and occurs ahead of my ability to understand it."
