It has been important to me, as an historian of photography, to understand photography by photographing.

We are not interested in the unusual, but in the usual seen unusually.

If the historian will be faithful to the photograph, the photograph will be faithful to history.

The present challenge to the photographer is to express inner significance through outward form.

The fundamental belief in the authenticity of photographs explains why photographs of people no longer living and of vanished architecture are so melancholy.

Documentary is, therefore, an approach, which makes use of the artistic faculties to give vivification to fact - to use Walt Whitman's definition of the place of poetry in the modern world.

We're not laughing at you - we're laughing near you

We almost always have choices, and the better the choice, the more we will be in control of our lives.
