"I am not a premeditative photographer. I see a picture and I make it. If I had a chance, I'd be out shooting all the time. You don't have to go looking for pictures. The material is generous. You go out and the pictures are staring at you."
Lee Friedlander_________

"There are more people than I can imagine who even after the lessons of Winogrand and Friedlander, they don't get it. They respect their work because they are told by respectable institutions that they are important artists, but what they really want to see is a picture with a figure or an object in the middle of it. They want something obvious. The blindness is apparent when someone lets slip the word 'snapshot'. Ignorance can always be covered by 'snapshot'. The word has never had any meaning. I am at war with the obvious."

"I photograph to see what the world looks like in photographs...
Photography is not about the thing photographed. It is about how that thing looks photographed."
Gary Winogrand_________
- "I want to see everything... to look at everything...
I want to be the view itself."
Josef Koudelka_________
- "I never look for the historic shot. It comes to me.
You have to be there and grab it.
Be there. Don't think. Forget yourself. Don't search."
Henri Cartier-Bresson_________
