They say my prints are bad, darling they should see my negatives

Speed, the fundamental condition of the activities of our day is the power of photography, indeed the modern art of today, the art of the split second.

I just picked up a camera without any kind of ambition to be good or bad. And especially without any ambition to make a living... My whole freedom working in photography comes because I say to myself, Let's see what is going on in this world. Let's find out. How do these people look?

Don't shoot til the subject hits you in the pit of your stomach.

Photography is the easiest art, which perhaps makes it the hardest.

Never take a picture of anything you are not passionately interested in.

New images surround us everywhere. They are invisible only because of sterile routine convention and fear. To find these images is to dare to see, to be aware of what there is and how it is. The photographer not only gets information, he gives information about life.
