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.

What’s so incredibly amusing with photography is that while seemingly an art of the surface, it catches things I haven’t even noticed. And it pains me not to have seen things in all their depth.

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.

It's marvelous, marvelous! Nothing will ever be as much fun. I'm going to photograph everything, everything!

I take photographs with love, so I try to make them art objects. But I make them for myself first and foremost - that is important.

I have two pairs of eyes – one to paint and one to take photographs.
