Sharpness is a bourgeois concept

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.

As photojournalists, we supply information to a world that is overwhelmed with preoccupations and full of people who need the company of images....We pass judgement on what we see, and this involves an enormous responsibility.

It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera... they are made with the eye, heart and head.

A photographer is part pick-pocket and part tightrope dancer.

Reality offers us such wealth that we must cut some of it out on the spot, simplify. The question is, do we always cut out what we should?

A photographer must always work with the greatest respect for his subject and in terms of his own point of view.
