…There are too many people studying photography now who are never going to make it. You can’t give them a formula for making it. You have to have it in you first, you don’t learn it. The seeing eye is the important thing.

I don't think there's any such thing as teaching people photography, other than influencing them a little.

People have to be their own learners.

They have to have a certain talent.
