I always take photographs when I attend a funeral. Most people there know who I am and expect me to be there with my camera.

From the moment the tourist enters the site, everyone has to be photographed in front of every feature of note.... The photographic record of the visit has almost destroyed the very notion of actually looking.

Photography is the simplest thing in the world, but it is incredibly complicated to make it really work.

If you photograph for a long time, you get to understand such things as body language. I often do not look at people I photograph, especially afterwards. Also when I want a photo, I become somewhat fearless, and this helps a lot. There will always be someone who objects to being photographed, and when this happens you move on.

The thing about tourism is that the reality of a place is quite different from the mythology of it.

Photography is Art and Art is Photography.

You can read a lot about a country by looking at its beaches: across cultures, the beach is that rare public space in which all absurdities and quirky national behaviors can be found.
