Look and think before opening the shutter. The heart and mind are the true lens of the camera.

You think the only thing looking at you is this steel thing, but behind the camera is this living, breathing person operating the camera whose job it is to watch you.

We can bring it all down to the subtleties of the shifting of an eye because we know the camera will catch it. That has been a great thing to learn, and it makes it interesting for a guy who has been in it as long as I have.

There's a kind of telepathy that goes on with the photographer and model.

I saw that my camera gave me a sense of connection with others that I never had before. It allowed me to enter lives, satisfying a curiosity that was always there but that was never explored before.

The camera is interested in what you are thinking as opposed to just what you are doing or saying.

A movie camera is like having someone you have a crush on watching you from afar - you pretend it's not there.

In front of the camera I look and I see visually what I've created.

This thing called the camera, that takes everything in equally, taught me a lot about how to see.
