In whatever one does there must be a relationship between the eye and the heart.

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

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.

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.

In whatever one does there must be a relationship between the eye and the heart.

To me, photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event.

There is nothing in this world that does not have a decisive moment.
