A picture is the expression of an impression. If the beautiful were not in us, how would we ever recognize it?

The artist must express the summation of his feeling, knowing and believing through the unity of his life and work.

In every artist there is poetry. In every human being there is the poetic element. We know, we feel, we believe.

The camera only facilitates the taking. The photographer must do the giving in order to transform and transcend ordinary reality. The problem is to transform without deforming. He must gain intensity in form and content by bringing a subjective order into an objective chaos.

There is no formula. There are only confirmations to formulas which one has already discovered oneself.

To express dynamic motion through a static moment became for me limited and unsatisfactory. The basic idea was to liberate myself from this old concept and arrive at an image in which the spectator could feel the beauty of a fourth dimension, which lies much more between moments than within a moment. In music one remembers never one tone, but a melody, a theme, a movement. In dance, never a moment, but again the beauty of a movement in time and space.

There is only you and your camera. The limitations in your photography are in yourself, for what we see is what we are.
