Photography is simultaneously and instantaneously the recognition of a fact and the rigorous organization of visually perceived forms that express and signify that fact

A photographer is part pick-pocket and part tightrope dancer.

Above all, I craved to seize the whole essence, in the confines of one single photograph, of some situation that was in the process of unrolling itself before my eyes.

Pictures should never be posed. They are 'revealed' so must be accepted as they are. Left alone.

Photography is nothing-it's life that interests me.

Only a fraction of the camera's possibilities interests me - the marvelous mixture of emotion and geometry, together in a single instant.

The adventurer in me felt obliged to testify with a quicker instrument than a brush to the scars of the world.
