What I'm trying to describe is that it's impossible to get out of your skin into somebody else's.... That somebody else's tragedy is not the same as your own.

There is something particularly fascinating about seeing places you know in a piece of art - be that in a film, or a photograph, or a painting.

For me, the subject of the picture is always more important than the picture.

One thing that struck me early is that you don't put into a photograph what's going to come out. Or, vice versa, what comes out is not what you put in.

Both the grand and the intimate aspects of nature can be revealed in the expressive photograph. Both can stir enduring affirmations and discoveries, and can surely help the spectator in his search for identification with the vast world of natural beauty and wonder surrounding him.

It's funny, but certain faces seem to go in and out of style. You look at old photographs and everybody has a certain look to them, almost as if they're related. Look at pictures from ten years later and you can see that there's a new kind of face starting to predominate, and that the old faces are fading away and vanishing, never to be seen again.

When I look at my old pictures, all I can see is what I used to be but am no longer. I think: What I can see is what I am not.

Photographs are the reflection of untold stories, unseen beauties, unexpressed emotions, and the unheard songs of life.

Today, everything exists to end in a photograph.

Using a camera appeases the anxiety which the work-driven feel about not working when they are on vacation and supposed to be having fun. They have something to do that is like a friendly imitation of work: they can take pictures.

The rarest thing in the world is a woman who is pleased with photographs of herself.

Photography is the 'art form' of the untalented ... Where is credit due? To the designer of the camera? To the finger on the button? To the law of averages?

People believe that photographs are true and therefore cannot be art.

There are always two people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer.

A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you, the less you know.

The magic of photography is metaphysical. What you see in the photograph isn't what you saw at the time.

I really believe there are things nobody would see if I didn't photograph them.

Not everybody trusts paintings but people believe photographs.

What most of us are after, when we have a picture taken, is a good natural-looking picture that doesn't resemble us.
