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

Photography has not changed since its origin except in its technical aspects, which for me are not important.

Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst.

In every photographer there is something of a stroller.

Thinking should be done before and after, not during photographing. Success depends on the extent of one's general culture. one's set of values, one's clarity of mind one's vivacity. The thing to be feared most is the artificially contrived, the contrary to life.

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.

Photography is an immediate reaction, drawing is a meditation.
