Photography is, for me, a spontaneous impulse coming from an ever attentive eye which captures the moment and its eternity.

What reinforces the content of a photograph is the sense of rhythm - the relationship between shapes and values.

Sharpness is a bourgeois concept

Pictures should never be posed. They are 'revealed' so must be accepted as they are. Left alone.

The intensive use of photographs by mass media lays ever fresh responsibilities upon the photographer. We have to acknowledge the existence of a chasm between the economic needs of our consumer society and the requirements of those who bear witness to this epoch. This affects us all, particularly the younger generations of photographers. We must take greater care than ever not to allow ourselves to be separated from the real world and from humanity.

The camera can be a machine gun, a warm kiss, a sketchbook. Shooting a camera is like saying, Yes, yes, yes. There is no maybe. All the maybes should go in the trash.

To take photographs is putting one's head, one's eye, and one's heart on the same axis
