The adventurer in me felt obliged to testify with a quicker instrument than a brush to the scars of the world.

While we're working, we must be conscious of what we're doing.

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.

To me, photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event.

To photograph is to hold one's breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It's at that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy.

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