There is no closed figure in nature. Every shape participates with another. No one thing is independent of another, and one thing rhymes with another, and light gives them shape.

A photograph is neither taken or seized by force. It offers itself up. It is the photo that takes you. One must not take photos.

The camera can be a machine gun, a warm kiss, a sketchbook. Shooting a camera is like saying, Yes, yes, yes. There is no maybe. All the maybes should go in the trash.

I'm always amused by the idea that certain people have about technique, which translate into an immoderate taste for the sharpness of the image. It is a passion for detail, for perfection, or do they hope to get closer to reality with this trompe I'oeil? They are, by the way, as far away from the real issues as other generations of photographers were when they obscured their subject in soft-focus effects.

Photography has not changed since its origin except in its technical aspects, which for me are not important.

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

Oop! The Moment! Once you miss it, it is gone forever.
