To me, photography is like a quest, or a pilgrimage, or a hunt. I love painting, I love music, but photography is what has allowed me to get outside of myself.

Sometimes I envy painters, it is wonderful to remain in front of a bouquet of flowers a whole morning, or even longer. A photographer is like a cloud, pushed all around, always dependent on the exterior world. That's what I sometimes feel as a pain and an error.

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

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

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.

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