We must respect the atmosphere which surrounds the human being

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

I'm always amused by the idea that certain people have about technique, which translate into an immoderate taste for the sharpness of the image. It is a passion for detail, for perfection, or do they hope to get closer to reality with this trompe I'oeil? They are, by the way, as far away from the real issues as other generations of photographers were when they obscured their subject in soft-focus effects.

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

Of course it's all luck.

Thinking should be done beforehand and afterwards - never while actually taking a photograph.

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