Reality offers us such wealth that we must cut some of it out on the spot, simplify. The question is, do we always cut out what we should?

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

To photograph: it is to put on the same line of sight the head, the eye and the heart.

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.

We cannot develop and print a memory.

While we're working, we must be conscious of what we're doing.

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