My great-grandfather was in the army in India and we have photographs of my family there in full Victorian dress. They're incredibly romantic.

I don't think that digital photography is romantic yet. It's not sympathetic the way that film is.

There are some people who become best friends with everyone they photograph. There are people that I really like and admire and respect but in a way I think it's better to keep a distance. I think you get better pictures of people that you don't know very well.

I respect newspapers but the reality is that magazine 'photojournalism' is finished. They want illustrations Photoshopped pictures of movie stars.

The first few games that we played against some of the teams the young guys you know want a stick sign or photo sign and I think that they respect what I have achieved throughout my career.

I have grown up but that should be a positive thing. When you look at a photo album it's lovely to remember being so young but it's also good to know you grew up!

All my life I've taken photographs of people who are completely at peace being what they were in the situations I photographed them in.

Sometimes they are a matter of luck the photographer could not expect or hope for them. Sometimes they are a matter of patience waiting for an effect to be repeated that he has seen and lost or for one that he anticipates.

I wish that all of nature's magnificence the emotion of the land the living energy of place could be photographed.

Airplane travel is nature's way of making you look like your passport photo.
