Doubt always hovers nearby, but I take photographs the way a musician hums. Looking is like breathing. So when luck turns my way and offers me a good picture, joy is surely nigh.

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

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.

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 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.
