In photography there is a reality so subtle that it becomes more real than reality.
Everything is relative except relatives, and they are absolute.
Wherever there is light, one can photograph.
The goal of art was the vital expression of self.
I was born in Hoboken. I am an American. Photography is my passion. The search for Truth my obsession.
Beautiful dreams - if the world were more beautiful they would come true - But the world is relentless & cruel - people are - they must be, I suppose, or they could not live.
When I make a picture, I make love.
I am not a painter, nor an artist. Therefore I can see straight, and that may be my undoing.
The arts equally have distinct departments, and unless photography has its own possibilities of expression, separate from those of the other arts, it is merely a process, not an art.
We had many books and pictures... my parents' way of life doubtless left a lasting impression on me. They created an atmosphere in which a certain kind of freedom could exist. This may well account for my seeking a related sense of liberty as I grew up.
Photographers must learn not to be ashamed to have their photographs look like photographs.
Before the people at large, and for that matter, the artists themselves, understand what photography really means, as I understand that term, it is essential for them to be taught the real meaning of art.
Several people feel I have photographed God. May be.
I have a vision of life, and I try to find equivalents for it in the form of photographs.
