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

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.

I believe that, through the act of living, the discovery of oneself is made concurrently with the discovery of the world around us.

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.

The camera can be a machine gun, a warm kiss, a sketchbook. Shooting a camera is like saying, Yes, yes, yes. There is no maybe. All the maybes should go in the trash.

In photography, you've got to be quick, quick, quick, quick...Like an animal and a prey.

Inside movement there is one moment in which the elements are in balance. Photography must seize the importance of this moment and hold immobile the equilibrium of it.
