We must avoid however, snapping away, shooting quickly and without thought, overloading ourselves with unnecessary images that clutter our memory and diminish the clarity of the whole.

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

...it is seldom indeed that a composition which was poor when the picture was taken can be improved by reshaping it in the dark room.

As far as I am concerned, taking photographs is a means of understanding which cannot be separated from other means of visual expression. It is a way of shouting, of freeing oneself, not of proving or asserting one's own originality. It is a way of life.

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.

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

In photography, you've got to be quick, quick, quick, quick...Like an animal and a prey.
