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

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.

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

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.

Learn by doing or even better unlearn by doing. The opposite of what you learned.

A picture can be an answer as well as a question but if you can't answer your question try to question your question... There can be questions without answers but no answers without questions.

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.
