A few photographers make a killing; the rest can't make a living.
John Loengard, the picture editor at Life, always used to tell me, ”If you want something to look interesting, don’t light all of it.
Only photograph what you love.
For me photography was the means to the end, but they made it the most important thing. (On the discovery of X-ray photography. )
I came from the outside, the rules of photography didn't interest me.
My life is shaped by the urgent need to wander and observe, and my camera is my passport.
I have never forgotten a picture that I ever made.
