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

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.

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

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.

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

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.
