Sometimes I photograph without looking through the viewfinder. I have mastered that well enough, it is almost as if I were looking through it.

I don't like captions. I prefer people to look at my pictures and invent their own stories.

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