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

The Photography is a chopper which in the eternity seizes the moment which dazzled it.

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.

We must respect the atmosphere which surrounds the human being

The camera is for us a tool, not a pretty mechanical toy ... people think far too much about techniques and not enough about seeing.

...it is seldom indeed that a composition which was poor when the picture was taken can be improved by reshaping it in the dark room.

Photography is only intuition, a perpetual interrogation - everything except a stage set.
