In the business of portrait photography, one must combine the artist and the craftsman.

For me, the camera is a sketch book, an instrument of intuition and spontaneity.

I've always been into documentary photography and spot news is one of my favorites. After 11 years in the business I was in the right place at the right time.

In photography there are no shadows that cannot be illuminated.

I do not believe that the average person wants a 'map' of his face - I believe he wants to be idealized.

The departure of our boys to foreign parts with the ever-present possibility that they might never return, taught the real value of photography to every father and mother. To many a mother the photograph of her boy in his country's uniform was the one never-failing consolation.
