For the world is movement, and you cannot be stationary in your attitude toward something that is moving.

In photography, the smallest thing can become a big subject, an insignificant human detail can become a leitmotiv. We see and we make seen as a witness to the world around us; the event, in its natural activity, generates an organic rhythm of forms.

Culture shock is often felt sharply at the borders between countries, but sometimes it doesn't hit fully until you've been in a place for a long time.

I suddenly understood that a photograph could fix eternity in an instant.

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

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.

A photograph is neither taken or seized by force. It offers itself up. It is the photo that takes you. One must not take photos.
