To me photography must suggest, not insist or explain.

It is not sociologists who provide insights but photographers of our sort who are observers at the very center of their times. I have always felt strongly that this was the photographer's true vocation.

My ambition was always to show aspects of daily life as if we were seeing them for the first time.

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

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.

The purpose of art is to raise people to a higher level of awareness than they would otherwise attain on their own.
