I suddenly understood that photography can fix eternity in a moment. It is the only photo that influenced me. There is such intensity in this image, such spontaneity, such joie de vivre, such miraculousness, that even today it still bowls me over.

I enjoy very much seeing a good photographer working. There’s an elegance, just like in a bullfight.

The camera is for us a tool, not a pretty mechanical toy ... people think far too much about techniques and not enough about seeing.

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.

Photography is simultaneously and instantaneously the recognition of a fact and the rigorous organization of visually perceived forms that express and signify that fact

For me, the camera is a sketch book, an instrument of intuition and spontaneity.
