पोर्ट्रेट फ़ोटोग्राफ़ी ने कभी मुझे आकर्षित नहीं किया, इसलिए मैंने अपनी तस्वीरें छतों से, और अंततः पहाड़ियों की चोटियों से और आसपास के इलाकों से लीं; जैसे-जैसे असफलताओं के मुकाबले मेरी सफलताएँ बढ़ती गईं, मेरी रुचि और गहरी होती गई।
Portrait photography never had any charms for me, so I sought my subjects from the house-tops, and finally from the hill-tops and about the surrounding country; the taste strengthening as my successes became greater in proportion to the failures.

(महाद्वीपीय रेलवे का निर्माण) वास्तव में कुछ ऐसा था जो दुनिया को हिला देने वाला था और, चाहे मुझे इसमें एक धेला भी मिलता या नहीं, देर-सवेर मैं अपने कैमरों के साथ ट्रैक पर उतर ही जाता।
[The building of the transcontinental railway] was something truly earth-shaking and, whether or not there had been a dime in it for me, sooner or later I would have been out on the grade with my cameras.
