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?

You become things, you become an atmosphere, and if you become it, which means you incorporate it within you, you can also give it back. You can put this feeling into a picture. A painter can do it. And a musician can do it and I think a photographer can do that too and that I would call the dreaming with open eyes.

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

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

There are almost too many possibilities. Photography is in direct proportion with our time: multiple, faster, instant. Because it is so easy, it will be more difficult.

I prefer to be noticed some day, first for my ideas and second for my good eye.
