If you want to write you should learn the alphabet. You write and write and in the end you hava a beautiful, perfect alphabet. But it isn’t the alphabed that is important. The important thing is what you are writing, what you are expressing. The same thing goes for photography. Photographs can be technically perfect and even beautiful, but they have no expression.

The most valuable things in a life are a man's memories. And they are priceless.

Technique isn't important. Technique is in the blood. Events and mood are more important than good light and the happening is what is important

I am not a surrealist. I am only a realist. All this group - surrealists - use my name. No, no, I am realist.

I do not document anything, I give an interpretation.

Have confidence in the inventions and transformations of chance.

My talent lies in the fact that I cannot touch a camera without expressing myself.
