Photography is the easiest art, which perhaps makes it the hardest.

I am a passionate lover of the snapshot, because of all photographic images it comes closest to truth.

Photography through the camera is an instrument of detection. We photograph not only what we know, but also what we don't know.

I have often been asked what I wanted to prove by my photographs. The answer is, I don’t want to prove anything. They prove to me, and I am the one who gets the lesson.

Never take a picture of anything you are not passionately interested in.

It is the surface I am interested in. Because the surface is the inside.

Photography starts with the projection of the photographer, his understanding of life and himself into the picture.

Don't shoot til the subject hits you in the pit of your stomach.

There ain't no way you can hold onto something that wants to go, you understand? You can only love what you got while you got it.

Don't ditch your childhood dreams just because you dreamt them up as a child.

Better than a thousand hollow words is one word that brings peace.

Outcomes rarely turn on grand gestures or the art of the deal, but on whether you've sent someone a thank-you note.

To see a man beaten not by a better opponent but by himself is a tragedy.

One of the lessons I learned in all those years practicing karate is that progress only comes in small incremental portions.

All hope is lost of my reception into grace; what worse? For where no hope is left, is left no fear.

We have today and hopefully tomorrow to be the best version of ourselves.

whoever is so stupid as to imagine God to be either masculine or feminine openly shows that he is as bad a philosopher as a theologian.

How can we teach our children to respect Black women if Black women don't respect Black women?
