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

Pictures, regardless of how they are created and recreated, are intended to be looked at. This brings to the forefront not the technology of imaging, which of course is important, but rather what we might call the eyenology (seeing).

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

To take photographs is putting one's head, one's eye, and one's heart on the same axis

I suddenly understood that a photograph could fix eternity in an instant.

We cannot develop and print a memory.

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.
