I'd like to briefly state the accomplishment that we expect from a photographer. He must make the person being photographed forget that he has eaten from the tree of knowledge.

Let us... leave art to the artists, and let us try to use the medium of photography to create photographs that can endure because of their photographic qualities.

In photography one should surely proceed from essence of the object and attempt to represent it with photographic terms alone.

Mathematics is a body of knowledge, but it contains no truths.

Leadership is about change... The best way to get people to venture into unknown terrain is to make it desirable by taking them there in their imaginations.

Perhaps there is a pattern set up in the heavens for one who desires to see it, and having seen it, to find one in himself.
