All I care about these days is painting — photography has never been more than a way into painting, a sort of instant drawing.

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

The Photography is a chopper which in the eternity seizes the moment which dazzled it.

For the world is movement, and you cannot be stationary in your attitude toward something that is moving.

And no photographs taken with the aid of flashlight either, if only out of respect of the actual light—even when there isn't any of it.

For me the camera is a sketch book, an instrument of intuition and spontaneity, the master of the instant which, in visual terms, questions and decides simultaneously. It is by economy of means that one arrives at simplicity of expression.

A photograph is neither taken or seized by force. It offers itself up. It is the photo that takes you. One must not take photos.
