Photography is a magic thing. A thing that has mysterious odors, a little strange and frightening, something one quickly grows to love.

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

Photography and writing are marvelous distractions from painting. I might even have found movies more interesting than photography. I tried it a bit, but not enough.

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.

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.

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.
