I don't invent anything. I imagine everything... most of the time, I have drawn my images from the daily life around me. I think that it is by capturing reality in the humblest, most sincere, most everyday way I can, that I can penetrate to the extraordinary.

... we photographers are nothing but a pack of crooks, thieves and voyeurs. We are to be found everywhere we are not wanted; we betray secrets that were never entrusted to us; we spy shamelessly on things that are not our business; And end up the hoarders of a vast quantity of stolen goods.

To me photography must suggest, not insist or explain.

The wall, safe haven for what is forbidden, gives a voice to all those who would, without it, be condemned to silence

The precise instant of creation is when you choose the subject. (meaning that the essential thing occurs at the moment when he, the photographer, meets the reality he wishes to capture.

Only powerfully conceived images have the ability to penetrate the memory, to stay there, in short to become unforgettable.

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