To me, beauty appears when one feels deeply, and art is an act of total attention.

I believe in living with the camera, and not using the camera.

That frame of mind that you need to make fine pictures of a very wonderful subject, you cannot do it by not being lost yourself.

You know there are moments such as these when time stands still and all you do is hold your breath and hope it will wait for you.

To know ahead of time what you're looking for means you're then only photographing your own preconceptions, which is very limiting, and often false.

Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still.

The visual life is an enormous undertaking, practically unattainable.
