The golden rule is work fast. As for framing, composition, focus-this is no time to start asking yourself questions: you just have to trust your intuition and the sharpness of your reflexes.

Photography to me is catching a moment which is passing, and which is true.

One shouldn’t be only two photographers but thousands.

Photography is something you learn to love very quickly. I know that many, many things are going to ask me to have their pictures taken and I will take them all.

I have never taken a photograph without one thought in my head to amuse myself.

I have never taken a picture for any other reason than that at that moment it made me happy to do so.

To talk about photos rather than making them seems idiotic to me. It's as though I went on and on about a woman I adored instead of making love to her.
