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

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.

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

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.

I tend to think of the act of photographing, generally speaking, as an adventure. My favorite thing is to go where I’ve never been.

One of the risks of appearing in public is the likelihood of being photographed.

I used to have a theory about photographing. It was a sense of getting in between two actions, or in between acton and repose.

It’s important to take bad pictures. It’s the bad ones that have to do with what you’ve never done before. They can make you recognize something you hadn’t seen in a way that will make you recognize it when you see it again.

what is ceremonious and curious and commonplace will be legendary.
