“What's really important is to simplify. The work of most photographers would be improved immensely if they could do one thing: get rid of the extraneous. If you strive for simplicity, you are more likely to reach the viewer. ”

“Usually the amateur is defined as an immature state of the artist: someone who cannot — or will not — achieve the mastery of a profession.

My stories are a way of shutting my eyes.”

It has to go beyond description to bring insight into the subject, or reveal the subject, not as it looks, but how does it feel?”
