21 " Take a moment. What was it you saw when you were moved to pick up the camera? I'm going to pretend I didn't hear you mutter something about thinking "it looked cool." Dig deeper. Was it a thought, a feeling, a simple moment when your eyes did a double-take at the intersection of two lines? Was it a lick of light, two blocks of color? "

24 " Courage is not an absence of fear, but an act of the will to move forward in the presence of fear. Fear whispers, “You might…” Courage rebuffs it with, “Sure, but….” To seek a fearless life is not the same as seeking a life of courage.

25 " الرؤية هي كلّّ شيء، وغاية الرحلة الفوتوغرافية هي اكتشاف رؤيتك، وتمكينها من التطوّر، والتغيّر، والعثور على أسلوب التعبير من خلال الكاميرا والصورة المطبوعة. إنها ليست شيئاً تعثر عليه وتقبله مرة واحدة وبشكل نهائي؛ إنها شيء يتغيّر وينمو معك. إن الأشياء التي تثيرك، والتي تغضبك، والتي تُحركك تعتبر جزءًا من رؤيتك الفريدة. إنها مسألة تتعلّق بما تجده أنت -كشخص فريد من بين بلايين الناس- جميلاً أو قبيحاً، صحيحاً أو خاطئاً، شاذّاً أو منسجماً في هذا العالم. وفي أثناء مواجهتك للحياة، تتغيّر رؤيتك. القصص التي تريد روايتها، الأشياء التي لها وقع وصدى في نفسك؛ كلها تتغيّر وكذلك رؤيتك. إن العثور على رؤيتك والتعبير عنها هما الرحلة، وليس الوجهة.

28 " I am most excited by people, places, and cultures that have not yet been overtaken by the creeping homogeny of the west. I love the color and texture of those places, the vitality of life, and the ritual and symbolism of cultures not yet tyrannized by the need to wear the same jeans and believe the same things. "
29 " To do what we should in art is bondage. To tell others, with our art, what they should think or feel or do, is propaganda. "

31 " Takže vezměte v potaz další fotografickou techniku, o níž se moc nemluví a kterou si nemůžete koupit ve vašem obchodě s fotoaparáty: trpělivost. "
32 " The human hunger that is expressed in spiritual practice and ritual is about as primal and as basic as it comes; it is at the core of what it means to be human. "
33 " The second way to control the light is with the aperture in the lens, which is a diaphragm that opens and closes to control the light. It’s measured in cryptic little numbers that only mathematicians and practitioners of the occult understand. "
