I Bought My First Camera

So I Went To Chicago In 1940, I Think, '41, And The Photographs That I Made There, Aside From Fashion, Were Things That I Was Trying To Express In A Social Conscious Way.

You Know, The Camera Is Not Meant Just To Show Misery. You Can Show Things That You Like About The Universe, Things That You Hate About The Universe. It's Capable Of Doing Both.

I Suffered First As A Child From Discrimination, Poverty ... So I Think It Was A Natural Follow From That That I Should Use My Camera To Speak For People Who Are Unable To Speak For Themselves.

Enthusiasm Is The Electricity Of Life

I Think Maybe The Rural Influence In My Life Helped Me In A Sense, Of Knowing How To Get Close To People And Talk To Them And Get My Work Done.
