I've Been Around So Long,

It's Just Seeing - At Least The Photography I Care About. You Either See Or You Don't See. The Rest Is Academic. Anyone Can Learn How To Develop. It's How You Organize What You See Into A Picture.

The Work I Care About Is Terribly Simple. I Observe. I Try To Entertain. But Above All I Want My Pictures To Be Emotional. Little Else Interests Me In Photography.

You Have To Devote Yourself Totally To Be Successful At It.

I See No Difference Between My Pictures That People Consider Amusing And The Rest. To Me, It's All Serious Work - They're Just A Reaction To What I See. I Don't Leave This Apartment In The Morning And Say To Myself 'today I'm Going To Be Funny And Tomorrow I'm Going To Be Sad.'

A Picture Should Be Looked At - Not Talked About.
