The world is being created every minute, and the world is falling to pieces every minute

Everyone has got some preconceptions, but you have to readjust them in front of reality. Reality has the last word.

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.

One has to tiptoe lightly and steal up to one's quarry; you don't swish the water when you are fishing.

It is through living that we discover ourselves, at the same time as we discover the world around us.

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

...it is seldom indeed that a composition which was poor when the picture was taken can be improved by reshaping it in the dark room.
