Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst.

We must avoid however, snapping away, shooting quickly and without thought, overloading ourselves with unnecessary images that clutter our memory and diminish the clarity of the whole.

The most difficult thing for me is a portrait. You have to try and put your camera between the skin of a person and his shirt.

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.

In photography, you've got to be quick, quick, quick, quick...Like an animal and a prey.

I love painting. As far as photography is concerned, I understand nothing.

Life is once. Forever.
