It's seldom you make a great picture. you have to milk the cow quite a lot to get plenty of milk to make a little cheese.

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.

Of all the means of expression, photography is the only one that fixes a precise moment in time.

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

To take photographs means to recognize - simultaneously and within a fraction of a second - both the fact itself and the rigorous organization of visually perceived forms that give it meaning. It is putting one's head, one's eye and one's heart on the same axis.

Photography appears to be an easy activity; in fact it is a varied and ambiguous process in which the only common denominator among its practitioners is in the instrument.

Photography is not documentary, but intuition, a poetic experience.
