Like every other means of expression, photography, if it is to be utterly honest and direct, should be related to the life of the times - the pulse of today.

I believe there is no more creative medium than photography to recreate the living world of our time. Photography gladly accepts the challenge because it is at home in its element: namely, realism - real life - the now.

Photography doesn't teach you to express your emotions; it teaches you how to see.

I took to photography like a duck to water. I never wanted to do anything else. Excitement about the subject is the voltage which pushes me over the mountain of drudgery necessary to produce the final photograph.

What the human eye observes casually and incuriously, the eye of the camera (the lens) notes with relentless fidelity.

Imagine a world without photography, one could only imagine.

The photographer is the contemporary being par excellence; through his eyes the now becomes the past.
