If you take your inspiration from nature, you don't invent anything, because what you want to do is to interpret something. But still, everything passes throught your imagination. What you produce at the end is very different from the reality you started with.

In the absence of a subject with which you are passionately involved, and without the excitement that drives you to grasp it and exhaust it, you may take some beautiful pictures, but not a photographic oeuvre.

To me photography must suggest, not insist or explain.

André Kertész has two qualities that are essential for a great photographer: an insatiable curiosity about the world, about people, and about life, and a precise sense of form.

To keep from going stale you must forget your professional outlook and rediscover the virginal eye of the amateur.

For me the criterion of a good photograph is that it is unforgettable.

After twenty years you can begin to be sure of what camera will do.
