One eye of the photographer looks wide open through the viewfinder, the other, the closed looks into his own soul.

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

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.

As time passes by and you look at portraits, the people come back to you like a silent echo. A photograph is a vestige of a face, a face in transit. Photography has something to do with death. It's a trace.

Of course it's all luck.

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.

Photography is not documentary, but intuition, a poetic experience.
