कुल मिलाकर, मैं कैमरे के शाब्दिक (लाक्षणिक) उपयोग के बजाय उसके प्रतीकात्मक उपयोग में अधिक रुचि रखती हूँ।

As a whole, I am interested in the symbolic, rather than the literal use of the camera.

इस दुनिया में जिसमें हम रहते हैं, फोटोग्राफी अभिव्यक्ति के सबसे प्रामाणिक और अभिन्न तरीकों में से एक है।

Photography is one of the most authentic and integral modes of expression possible in this world in which we live.

इसलिए फोटोग्राफर के लिए भी—ठीक एक रचनात्मक कवि या चित्रकार की तरह—यह संभव होना चाहिए कि वह वस्तु का उपयोग एक ऐसे अर्थपूर्ण संसार की सीढ़ी के रूप में करे जो उस वस्तु से परे हो।

It therefore should be possible for even the photographer - just as for the creative poet or painter - to use the object as a stepping stone to a realm of meaning completely beyond itself.

मैं जो भी देखता हूँ, वह मेरे लिए व्यक्तिगत होना चाहिए; वरना वह निर्जीव और यांत्रिक है। यंत्रवाद के इस अभिशाप, एक जैसी सोच और व्यवहार की आदत, तथा समाज के बनते जा रहे इस विशाल यंत्र से बचने का हमारा एकमात्र उपाय यही है कि हम मानवीय कल्पना की कल्याणकारी और पुनर्जीवित करने वाली शक्ति के जरिए हर चीज़ में फिर से जान फूंक दें।

Everything that I see must become personal; otherwise, it is dead and mechanical. Our only chance to escape the blight of mechanization, of acting and thinking alike, of the huge machine which society is becoming, is to restore life to all things through the saving and beneficent power of the human imagination.

हमारे समाज में हम में से अधिकांश लोग तरह-तरह के और विभिन्न कारणों से सुरक्षात्मक मुखौटे पहनते हैं। अक्सर इसका परिणाम यह होता है कि वे मुखौटे हमारे साथ ही चिपक जाते हैं और हमारे असली व्यक्तित्व को पीछे छोड़कर हमारा ओढ़ा हुआ व्यक्तित्व ही सामने आ जाता है।

In our society, most of us wear protective masks of various kinds and for various reasons. Very often the end result is that the masks grow to us, displacing our original characters with our assumed characters.

मेरी एक बुनियादी भावना यह है कि फोटोग्राफर का मन और उसका हृदय दोनों ही प्रकाश की महिमा, उसके जादू और रहस्य को समर्पित होने चाहिए। समय का रहस्य, प्रकाश का जादू, और यथार्थ की पहेली—तथा इन सबका आपसी संबंध—मेरे निरंतर विषय और चिंताएं रहे हैं।

One of my basic feelings is that the mind, and the heart alike, of the photographer must be dedicated to the glory, the magic, and the mystery of light. The mystery of time, the magic of light, the enigma of reality - and their interrelationships - are my constant themes and preoccupations.

प्रकाश का रहस्य [और] समय की पहेली वे दो ध्रुव हैं जिनके इर्द-गिर्द मेरा सारा काम घूमता है। इसके अलावा... मेरा काम हमारी समकालीन दुनिया के लिए एक पौराणिक गाथा गढ़ने का प्रयास करता है।

The mystery of light [and] the enigma of time form the twin pivots around which all my work revolves. In addition... my work attempts to create a mythology for our contemporary world.

मैंने इमारतों को एक वास्तुकार या इतिहासकार के अधिक तकनीकी दृष्टिकोण से देखने के बजाय—(जो अक्सर रूपों के पीछे छिपी जीवंत आत्मा को नहीं देख पाते)—एक मनोवैज्ञानिक और काव्यात्मक अभिव्यक्ति के रूप में देखा है।

I have approached the buildings as psychological and poetic manifestations - rather than from the more technical viewpoints of the architect and historian (which mostly miss the living spirit behind the forms).

पुरानी गंदी गलियों में, सूने और जर्जर मकानों में, कभी-कभी ‘व्यू कैरे’ (Vieux Carre) से बहुत दूर, कम इस्तेमाल होने वाले और एकांत कब्रिस्तानों में, अतीत का वह सुस्त रक्त आज भी शिथिल गति से बह रहा है—एक ऐसे अतीत का जो ऊर्जावान और जीवंत रंगों से भरा था।

In old grimy streets, in isolated and decaying houses, sometimes far from the Vieux Carre, in little used and secluded cemeteries, there still sluggishly circulates the ebbing blood of the past, of a vigorous and vividly hued past.

आइए हम अपने युग की वास्तविकताओं को जितनी स्पष्टता और समग्रता से हो सके देखें: बर्बाद होती जिंदगी, बिखरे और दुरुपयोग किए गए संसाधन (मानव और सामग्री), गलत दिशा में काम कर रही मशीनरी का इस्पात जैसा जादू, और इन सबका पागलपन भरा यांत्रिक त्रासद संसार।

Let us see as steadily and completely as possible the realities of our age: the wasted lives, the scattered and misused resources (human and material), the steel magic of the misdirected machinery, the mad clockwork tragedy of it all.

...अपने आप से असंतुष्टि और दुनिया से असंतुष्टि—आवश्यक है—यह उन मुख्य चीज़ों में से एक है जो कलाकार को आगे बढ़ाती है, उसे प्रेरित करती है; खुशी तो बीच-बीच में जैसे-तैसे खुद ही आ जाती है।

... dissatisfaction with one's self and dissatisfaction with the world - is necessary - it is one of the prime things that keeps the artist going on - that drives him - happiness, as such, must come in between times, as best it can.

मौजूदा हालातों में, तकनीकी रूप से अच्छी श्वेत-श्याम तस्वीर से ज्यादा आसानी से और सटीक रूप से किसी और चीज़ की नकल नहीं की जा सकती, और इसमें दिलचस्पी रखने वालों पर फालतू की जीवनी संबंधी बकवास और लंबी-चौड़ी सैद्धांतिक बातें लादना पूरी तरह बकवास है।

There is nothing, under present conditions, that can be more easily and exactly reproduced than a technically good black-and-white photograph, and it is utter rot to burden those interested in them with irrelevant biographical trivia and pet longwinded theory.
