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.

There is a creative fraction of a second when you are taking a picture. Your eye must see a composition or an expression that life itself offers you, and you must know with intuition when to click the camera. That is the moment the photographer is creative. Oop! The Moment! Once you miss it, it is gone forever.

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

For the world is movement, and you cannot be stationary in your attitude toward something that is moving.

In every photographer there is something of a stroller.

One has to tiptoe lightly and steal up to one's quarry; you don't swish the water when you are fishing.

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