Millions of unnecessary photos are taken every day. People stand before the Pyramids and photograph them, when for three cents they could buy postcards which show them much better.

Was it the same light that enchanted the first photographers? It is the same, and it is still brand new - it is something that never wears out.

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.

In some way, a photo is like a stolen kiss. In fact a kiss is always stolen, even if the woman is consenting. With a photograph it's the same: always stolen, and still slightly consenting.

The wandering photographer sees the same show that everyone else sees. He, however, stops to watch it.

There are certain pictures I can never take. We turn on the TV and are smothered with cruelty and suffering and I don't need to add to it. So I just photograph peaceful things. A vase of flowers, a beautiful girl. Sometimes, through a peaceful face, I can bring something important into the world.
