“The single most important component of a camera is the twelve inches behind it!”

“Life is your art. An open, aware heart is your camera. A oneness with your world is your film. Your bright eyes and easy smile is your museum.”

“You don't make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.”

“Sometimes I do get to places just when God's ready to have somebody click the shutter.”

“A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed.”

“It is horrifying that we have to fight our own government to save the environment.”

“You don't take a photograph, you make it.”
