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

To live, to experience the world, to communicate with a camera, all these are interrelated and cannot be separated from everyday live.

Nowadays, photographers start out with ideas, and their photos become the expression of an idea. To my way of thinking, a photo should not depend on ideas, should go beyond ideas.

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.

You cannot live when you are untouchable. Life is vulnerability.

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.
