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

Of all the means of expression, photography is the only one that fixes a precise moment in time.

Pictures, regardless of how they are created and recreated, are intended to be looked at. This brings to the forefront not the technology of imaging, which of course is important, but rather what we might call the eyenology (seeing).

I am neither an economist nor a photographer of monuments, and I am not much of a journalist either. What I am trying to do more than anything else is to observe life.

The photograph itself doesn't interest me. I want only to capture a minute part of reality.

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

Of course it's all luck.
