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.

And no photographs taken with the aid of flashlight either, if only out of respect of the actual light—even when there isn't any of it.

I am a pack of nerves while waiting for the moment, and this feeling grows and grows and grows and then it explodes, it is a physical joy, a dance, space and time united. Yes, yes, yes, yes!

Freedom for me is a strict frame, and inside that frame are all the variations possible.

We cannot develop and print a memory.

Above all, I craved to seize the whole essence, in the confines of one single photograph, of some situation that was in the process of unrolling itself before my eyes.

As photojournalists, we supply information to a world that is overwhelmed with preoccupations and full of people who need the company of images....We pass judgement on what we see, and this involves an enormous responsibility.
