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

Photography is simultaneously and instantaneously the recognition of a fact and the rigorous organization of visually perceived forms that express and signify that fact

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

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

I enjoy very much seeing a good photographer working. There’s an elegance, just like in a bullfight.

Of course it's all luck.

The world is being created every minute, and the world is falling to pieces every minute
