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.

Culture shock is often felt sharply at the borders between countries, but sometimes it doesn't hit fully until you've been in a place for a long time.

The simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event as well as the precise organization of forms which gives that event its proper expression... In photography, the smallest thing can be a great subject. The little human detail can become a leitmotif.

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

To photograph: it is to put on the same line of sight the head, the eye and the heart.

Reality offers us such wealth that we must cut some of it out on the spot, simplify. The question is, do we always cut out what we should?

Nobody takes photographs, photographs take you.
