Photography has not changed since its origin except in its technical aspects, which for me are not important.

I believe that, through the act of living, the discovery of oneself is made concurrently with the discovery of the world around us.

Rene Char wrote somewhere, apropos poetry, that there are those who create and those who discover; they are too completely different worlds. Photograph also has two sides to it and thank goodness, I am only intersted in those who discover; I feel a certain solidarity with those who set out in a spirit of discovery; I think there is much more risk invovled in this than in trying to create images; and in the end, reality is more important.

Photography is like fencing. You must keep your distance, wait, and then thrust.

There is a creative fraction of a second when you are taking a picture. Your eye must see a composition or an expression that life itself offers you, and you must know with intuition when to click the camera. That is the moment the photographer is creative. Oop! The Moment! Once you miss it, it is gone forever.

The photograph itself doesn't interest me. I want only to capture a minute part of reality.

In every photographer there is something of a stroller.
