“ A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you, the less you know.”
“ I really believe there are things nobody would see if I didn’t photograph them.” “ The thing that’s important to know is that you never know.” “ I think the best thing about photography is that it’s a way of seeing.” “ I think the best thing about being a photographer is that you can be a voyeur.” “ I never think of myself as an artist. I think of myself as a person who takes pictures.” “ The thing that’s important to know is that you never know. You’re always sort of feeling your way.” “ I never think of myself as an artist.” “ There are always two people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer.” “ I’m not interested in the normal.” “ I think the best thing about a photograph is that it never changes. Even when the people in it change.” “ I never have taken a picture I’ve intended. They’re always better or worse.” |
