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

The only thing which completely was an amazement to me and brought me to photography was the work of Munkacsi. When I saw the photograph of Munkacsi of the black kids running in a wave, I couldn't believe such a thing could be caught with the camera. I said, 'Damn it', I took my camera and went out into the street.

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

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.

Thinking should be done before and after, not during photographing. Success depends on the extent of one's general culture. one's set of values, one's clarity of mind one's vivacity. The thing to be feared most is the artificially contrived, the contrary to life.

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

During the work, you have to be sure that you haven't left any holes, that you've captured everything, because afterwards it will be too late.
