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

They ... asked me: 'How do you make your pictures?' I was puzzled ... I said, I don't know, it's not important.

The camera is for us a tool, not a pretty mechanical toy ... people think far too much about techniques and not enough about seeing.

Why do photographers start giving numbers to their prints? It’s absurd. What do you do when the 20th print has been done? Do you swallow the negative? Do you shoot yourself? It’s the gimmick of money.

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

Photographier: c'est mettre sur la meme ligne de mire la tete, l'oeil et le coeur.

The creative act lasts but a brief moment, a lightning instant of give-and-take, just long enough for you to level the camera and to trap the fleeting prey in your little box.
