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

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.

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

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.

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

What attracts the photographer is precisely the chance to penetrate inside phenomena, to uncover forms... He pursues them into their last refuges and surprises them at their most positive, their most material and true.

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