Unconsciously, I think I watch for a look, an expression, features or nostalgia that can summarize or more accurately reveal life.

If you wait, people will forget your camera, and the soul will drift up into view.

A picture can express a universal humanism, or simply reveal a delicate and poignant truth by exposing a slice of life that might otherwise pass unnoticed.

Most of my photos are grounded in people, I look for the unguarded moment, the essential soul peeking out, experience etched on a persons face.

If you want to be a photographer, first leave home

My life is shaped by the urgent need to wander and observe, and my camera is my passport.

The definition of a great picture is one that stays with you, one that you can't forget. It doesn't have to be technically good at all.

Some of the great pictures happen along the journey and not necessarily at your destination.

I strive for individual pictures that will burn in people's memories.

What matters most is that each picture stands on its own with its own place and feeling.

I think life is too short not to be doing something which you really believe in.

How people treat you is not very important but how you react to it, is very important.

I suppose what I really am is restless. I want to go everywhere, see everything, do everything. I want to find something. Yes, that's it, I want to find something.

It is a tragicomic fact that our proper upbringing has become an ally of the secret police. We do not know how to lie.

Wise people say nothing in dangerous times.

You're 5 feet nothing, a hundred and nothing.

Summer is a discouraging time to work - you don't feel death coming on the way it does in the fall when the boys really put pen to paper.

By writing I put order in the world, give it a handle so I can grasp it.

Authors from whom others steal should not complain, but rejoice. Where there is no game there are no poachers.

If you have a friend, things are better than if you didn't have a friend.

Look to the fields white unto harvest; pray for the fields; prepare for the fields; go to the fields or support those who go.
