The eye is made to see and not to think.... A good photograph is a surprise. How could we plan and foresee a surprise? We just have to be ready.

Photography cannot change the world, but it can show the world, especially when it changes.

I'm often asked: Did you get what you wanted? But how should I know what I wanted? A photo is an encounter, a surprise.

Photography is about savoring life at 1/100th of a second.

Taking pictures is savoring life intensely, every hundredth of a second.

The idea of photography as evidence is pure bullshit. A photo is no more proof of any reality than what you may hear being said by someone in a bus. We only record details, small fragments of the world.
