सीधी और बिना छेड़छाड़ की फोटोग्राफी (स्ट्रेट फोटोग्राफी), इस माध्यम के साथ चलते हुए, अपने आप में एक नशा है—कोशिश यह होती है कि इसे किसी कविता के रूप में ढाल दिया जाए।
Straight photography, following the medium, is intoxicating - trying to wrestle it into the form of a poem.

जरा कल्पना कीजिए कि मसाaccio या लियोनार्डो ने क्या किया होता यदि उनके पास एक ऐसा उपकरण होता जिससे वे इशारा करते, एक बटन दबाते, और तस्वीर सामने आ जाती।
Imagine what Masaccio or Leonardo would have done if they had an instrument with which they could point, push a button, and get an image.

सवाल यह नहीं है कि कोई तस्वीर किसी औपचारिक या तकनीकी लिहाज से कितनी अच्छी है, बल्कि यह है कि क्या वह वही मतलब रखती है जो मैं चाहता हूँ? लेखक उन वाक्यों को भी सुधार सकते हैं जो भले ही अच्छे से लिखे गए हों लेकिन उनके मन के विचार को व्यक्त नहीं करते। लेकिन फोटोग्राफी में कोई सुधार गुंजाइश नहीं होती: एक तस्वीर या तो सही है या गलत, और फोटोग्राफर को अपने फैसलों के परिणामों के साथ ही जीना पड़ता है।
The question is not whether a picture is good, in some formal, technical sense, but, does it mean what I need it to mean? Writers can edit sentences that may be well-crafted but that don't express an intended thought. But in photography, there are no revisions: A photograph is in or it's out, and the photographer must live with the consequences of his or her choices.

मैंने फोटोग्राफी को ठीक उसी तरह अपनाया जैसे मैं किसी भी काम को अपनाता हूँ: एक नौकरी की तरह। मैं उठता, सुबह भर तस्वीरें खींचता, रुककर दोपहर का खाना खाता, और फिर दोपहर भर तस्वीरें खींचता। मुझे कभी ऐसा नहीं लगा कि मुझे किसी प्रेरणा का इंतजार करने की जरूरत है।
I approached photography the only way that I knew how to approach anything: as a job. I would get up, photograph all morning, stop and have lunch, and then, photograph all afternoon. I didn't think that I had to wait for some inspiration.
