Is photography an art? There is no point in trying to find out if it is an art. Art is old-fashioned. We need something else.

A camera alone does not make a picture. To make a picture you need a camera, a photographer and above all a subject. It is the subject that determines the interest of the photograph.

There is no progress in art, any more than there is progress in making love.

I believe in the relation between photography and music; And thats my inspiration.

If I'd had the nerve, I'd have become a thief or a gangster, but since I didn't, I became a photographer.

Of course, there will always be those who look only at technique, who ask 'how', while others of a more curious nature will ask 'why'. Personally, I have always preferred inspiration to information.

I have never painted a recent picture.
