The picture is good or not from the moment it was caught in the camera.

What reinforces the content of a photograph is the sense of rhythm - the relationship between shapes and values.

In a portrait, I’m looking for the silence in somebody.

Thinking should be done beforehand and afterwards - never while actually taking a photograph.

Photography is nothing-it's life that interests me.

Rene Char wrote somewhere, apropos poetry, that there are those who create and those who discover; they are too completely different worlds. Photograph also has two sides to it and thank goodness, I am only intersted in those who discover; I feel a certain solidarity with those who set out in a spirit of discovery; I think there is much more risk invovled in this than in trying to create images; and in the end, reality is more important.

Pictures, regardless of how they are created and recreated, are intended to be looked at. This brings to the forefront not the technology of imaging, which of course is important, but rather what we might call the eyenology (seeing).
