They say my prints are bad, darling they should see my negatives

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.

New images surround us everywhere. They are invisible only because of sterile routine convention and fear.

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

Speed, the fundamental condition of the activities of our day is the power of photography, indeed the modern art of today, the art of the split second.

Not to sound overly cheesy but I really appreciate the freedom we have in America - especially as a female.

Because I am an Englishman I spent most of my life in a state of embarrassment.

Holding on to the weak is called strength.

Keep thy smooth words and juggling homilies for those who know thee not.

Old man! 'Tis not difficult to die.

Everyone loves to be loved.

To be disesteemed by people you don't have much respect for is not the worst fate.

If you're too scared to put your dreams, thoughts, desires, fantasies on paper and share them with the world, then being an author isn't the right career for you.

To love yourself is a never-ending journey.

I'm proud of Russia, that's true. And we have something to be proud of, but we do not have any obsession with being a superpower in the international arena.
