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

in the smallest cells are reflections of the largest. And in photography, through an interplay of scales, a whole universe within a universe can be revealed.

Beware of too much taste as it leads to sterility.

I love to read theories without ever using them when working... The paradoxical fact in the aesthetic is that theories are also true in reverse.

Don't park... Arrival is the death of inspiration.

All I wanted was to connect my moods with those of Paris. Beauty pains and when it pained most, I shot.

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.
