Sharpness is a bourgeois concept

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'm not responsible for my photographs. Photography is not documentary, but intuition, a poetic experience. It's drowning yourself, dissolving yourself, and then sniff, sniff, sniff - being sensitive to coincidence. You can't go looking for it; you can't want it, or you won't get it. First you must lose your self. Then it happens.

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

And no photographs taken with the aid of flashlight either, if only out of respect of the actual light—even when there isn't any of it.

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

Photographers deal in things which are continuously vanishing.
