I think most people see drawing as subservient to the subject, a sort of meditation, a studying, a searching observation, in my case, for its own sake.

Photography is about finding things. And painting is different - it's about making something.

I've always thought photography is not so much of an art form but a way of communicating and passing on information.

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.

I understood the craft of photography when done by an artist is art.

Photography is more than a medium for factual communication of ideas. It is a creative art.

To confer the gift of drawing, we must create an eye that sees, a hand that obeys, a soul that feels; and in this task, the whole life must cooperate. In this sense, life itself is the only preparation for drawing. Once we have lived, the inner spark of vision does the rest.

With photography, you've captured a moment time - it's that moment only - and in painting, you play with it; you manipulate how time is presented. It's about fantasy and illusion and the creation of desire.

The art of photography is all about directing the attention of the viewer.

Photography to me is catching a moment which is passing, and which is true.
