Photography has no rules, it is not a sport. It is the result which counts, no matter how it is achieved.
Kodak sells film, but they don’t advertise film; they advertise memories.
A photograph is like a recipe – the memory is the finished dish.
Contrast is what makes photography interesting.
Every artist has a central story to tell, and the difficulty, the impossible task, is trying to present that story in pictures.
Skill in photography is acquired by practice, and not by purchase.
You photograph with all your ideology.
Your inspiration is better if it comes from many different sources and your sensibilities will transform all those influences and inspiration into your own visual world. It’s like reading the book instead of watching the movie.
The formula for doing a good job in photography is to think like a poet.
We see in colour all the time. Black and white is therefore immediately an interpretation of the world, rather than a copy.
The golden rule in the arts, as far as I am concerned, is that all rules are meant to be broken.
If I have any ‘message’ worth giving to a beginner it is that there are no shortcuts in photography.

After following the crowd for a while, I’d then go 180 degrees in the exact opposite direction. It always worked for me.
