Photography helps people to see.

Does not the very word 'creative' mean to build, to initiate, to give out, to act - rather than to be acted upon, to be subjective? Living photography is positive in its approach, it sings a song of life - not death.

Photography can only represent the present. Once photographed, the subject becomes part of the past.

Photography can never grow up if it imitates some other medium. It has to walk alone; it has to be itself.

As I have practiced it, photography produces pleasure by simplicity. I see something special and show it to the camera. A picture is produced. The moment is held until someone sees it. Then it is theirs.

Photography, alone of the arts, seems perfected to serve the desire humans have for a moment - this very moment - to stay.

Landscape photography is the supreme test of the photographer - and often the supreme disappointment.

It is my intention to present - through the medium of photography - intuitive observations of the natural world which may have meaning to the spectators.

Photography, as a powerful medium of expression and communications, offers an infinite variety of perception, interpretation and execution.

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

Videos are more like photography. It's not as much about trying to tell a story as it is creating images.

In my photography, color and composition are inseparable. I see in color.

Erotica is using a feather, pornography is using the whole chicken.

I threw myself into this artform because photography had given me a new sense of mission and identity.

I was a daydreamer, and there is a lot of history and geography and science I missed out on because I was in my head. And I regret that.

My ideal relaxation is working on upholstry. I spend hours in junk shops buying furniture. I do all the upholstery work myself, and it's like therapy.

When my mother left her second husband, she wrote her autobiography and presented it to him for his approval.

The Holocaust is a central event in many people's lives, but it also has become a metaphor for our century. There cannot be an end to speaking and writing about it. Besides, in Israel, everyone carries a biography deep inside him.

I got into therapy in the fifth grade because I said in a sarcastic way that I was going to kill myself, and they didn't get it then. Nothing's changed.

I always thought of photography as a naughty thing to do - that was one of my favorite things about it, and when I first did it, I felt very perverse.
