For me photography is not an intellectual process. It is a visual one.... Whether we like it or not, we are involved in a sensual business.

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

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

Rather than a profession, photography has always been a passion for me, a passion closer to an obsession.

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.

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.
