Taking photographs is not something that happens only in a moment I press the button. It is a full-time occupation. For me there is difference between leisure and work.

A photographer is a witness. He has a moral duty. Every picture must be true and honest. I believe a photographer's strength is his ability to accurately record reality. There are photographers who think they are lucky if they find unusual or special subject. But it is never the subject that is so marvelous. It is how alive and real the photographer can make it.

There is a word we haven't used yet: virginity... To make a photograph, the plate must be virgin, but your eye as well.

The most important thing is to go out and see the stars, not to see them in books.

Because I know war... because I know the horror, I don't want to add to it. .........After the war, we felt the need to celebrate life, and for me photography was the means to achieve this.

I think that the photos that we like were made when the photographer knew how to disappear. If there were a secret, certainly that would be it.
