My project could be only to photograph as I felt and desired, to regulate a pleasant form of living, to get up in the morning-free, to feel the trees, the grass, the water, sky or buildings, people-everything that affects us; and to photograph that which I saw and have always felt.

You only do exercises in art school. That's not the real thing. A little bit tells you so much. You have to find your own self. And you don't know what you are! But that's what you have to search for.

I love art because it doesn't have rules like baseball. The only rule is to be good. That's the toughest thing to do.

I can't say what makes a picture. I can't say. It's mysterious.

Every time I talked about making a picture I didn't do it. I had already done it - talking about it! I quit talking.

It's the subject matter that counts. I'm interested in revealing the subject in a new way to intensify it. A photo is able to capture a moment that people can't always see.

If you choose your subject selectively - intuitively - the camera can write poetry.
