In 1941 I was introduced to a photography that had unlimited possibilities for me. I can honestly say that for the past five years I have devoted every spare moment to thinking about and doing photography as a means of expressing my feelings and visual relationship to life within me and about me… My project could only be to photographs as I felt and desired; to regulate a pleasant form of living; to get up in the morning—free to feel the trees, the grass, the water, sky or building, people— everything that affects us; and to photograph that which I saw and have always felt. This, I know, is not a definite project because life itself is not definite, but it could be part of a lifetime project to help keep photography alive for me and with the hope that it would be alive for someone else.
