'I never intended to be a photographer. I never intended to be anything... Photography then seemed new and exciting, and all America, which I regarded with mystery and reverence, lay before me.

Eighteen years have now passed. In order to make this book I have had to face directly everything I have done in photography from that day to this. Now, I give it back to you, America, from whom I took it all in the first place. The slate is clean, and I am free to begin again.'
