Photography is like fencing. You must keep your distance, wait, and then thrust.

Photographier: c'est mettre sur la meme ligne de mire la tete, l'oeil et le coeur.

I believe that, through the act of living, the discovery of oneself is made concurrently with the discovery of the world around us.

Of course it's all luck.

I am a pack of nerves while waiting for the moment, and this feeling grows and grows and grows and then it explodes, it is a physical joy, a dance, space and time united. Yes, yes, yes, yes!

In whatever one does there must be a relationship between the eye and the heart.

Some photographs are like a Chekhov short story or a Maupassant story. They're quick things and there's a whole world in them. But one is unconscious of it while shooting.
