I think that a visual artist's philosophy develops much more freely than a writer's or a thinker's philosophy. It is not so disciplined. The photographer works with both his eyes and his mind.

There is no other art with as great a democratic capacity as photography.

I think that light and shadow have exactly the same duality that exists between life and death.

I give the moment permanence.

A photographer's main instrument is his eyes. Strange as it may seem, many photographers choose to use the eyes of another photographer, past or present, instead of their own. Those photographers are blind.

Shoot what you see, not what you think.
