I have to shoot three cassettes of film a day, even when not 'photographing', in order to keep the eye in practice.

The biggest lesson in photography is that from negative we make a positive

I photograph only something that has to do with me, and I never did anything that I did not want to do. I do not do editorial and I never do advertising. No, my freedom is something I do not give away easily.

I never stay in one country more than three months. Why? Because I was interested in seeing, and if I stay longer I become blind.

I don't pretend to be an intellectual or a philosopher. I just look.

For me what photographers say about their photos doesn’t have any importance. For me it is just enough to look at the pictures. Many times - for the boring pictures - people have to say so many things about them to show you there is something to them when many times there is nothing.

If I am dissatisfied, it's simply because good photos are few and far between. A good photo is a miracle.
