What matters most to me is to take photographs; to continue taking them and not to repeat myself. To go further, to go as far as I can.
Josef KoudelkaSometimes I photograph without looking through the viewfinder. I have mastered that well enough, it is almost as if I were looking through it.
Josef KoudelkaI am not interested in repetition. I don't want to reach the point from where I wouldn't know how to go further. It's good to set limits for oneself, but there comes a moment when we must destroy what we have constructed.
Josef KoudelkaI have never had any hero in my life or in photography. I just travel, I look and everything influences me. Everything influences me. I am quite different now than I was 40 years ago. For 40 years I have been traveling. 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.
