If a day goes by without my doing something related to photography, it's as though I've neglected something essential to my existence, as though I had forgotten to wake up.

Richard Avedon

Richard Avedon

I don't really remember the day when I stood behind my camera with Henry Kissinger on the other side. I am sure he doesn't remember it either.

It's a reminder of the wonder and terror that is a photograph.

She gave more to the still camera than any actress-any woman- I've ever photographed.
