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

The photograph itself doesn't interest me. I want only to capture a minute part of reality.

Your eye must see a composition or an expression that life itself offers you, and you must know with intuition when to click the camera.

I love painting. As far as photography is concerned, I understand nothing.

It's seldom you make a great picture. you have to milk the cow quite a lot to get plenty of milk to make a little cheese.

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.

Photography is an immediate reaction, drawing is a meditation.
