What makes photography a strange invention is that its primary raw materials are light and time.

To me photography is the simultaneous recognition in a fraction of a second of the significance of an event.

Photography takes an instant out of time altering life by holding it still.

My interest in architecture has always been sculptural. Most of my photography is of architecture.

I mean certainly writing painting photography dance architecture there is an aspect of almost every art form that is useful and that merges into film in some way.

Photography can never grow up if it imitates some other medium. It has to walk alone it has to be itself.

Photography alone of the arts seems perfected to serve the desire humans have for a moment - this very moment - to stay.

Photography suits the temper of this age - of active bodies and minds. It is a perfect medium for one whose mind is teeming with ideas imagery for a prolific worker who would be slowed down by painting or sculpting for one who sees quickly and acts decisively accurately.
