For me the camera is a sketch book, an instrument of intuition and spontaneity, the master of the instant which, in visual terms, questions and decides simultaneously. It is by economy of means that one arrives at simplicity of expression.

In every photographer there is something of a stroller.

We must avoid however, snapping away, shooting quickly and without thought, overloading ourselves with unnecessary images that clutter our memory and diminish the clarity of the whole.

What reinforces the content of a photograph is the sense of rhythm - the relationship between shapes and values.

In photography, you've got to be quick, quick, quick, quick...Like an animal and a prey.

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.

A photographer must always work with the greatest respect for his subject and in terms of his own point of view.
