I have often photographed when I am not in tune with nature but the photographs look as if I had been. So I conclude that something in nature says, 'Come and take my photograph.' So I do, regardless of how I feel.

Camera and eye are together a time machine with which the mind and human being can do the same kind of violence to time and space as dreams.

The camera is first a means of self-discovery and a means of self-growth. The artist has one thing to say - himself.

Sometimes we work so fast that we don't really understand what's going on in front of the camera. We just kind of sense that, 'Oh my God, it's significant!' and photograph impulsively while trying to get the exposure right. Exposure occupies my mind while intuition frames the images.

We emphasized the creativeness that happens at the moment of seeing over the kind that takes place in the dark room.

It is curious that I always want to group things, a series of sonnets, a series of photographs; whatever rationalizations appear, they originate in urges that are rarely satisfied with single images.

The photographer projects himself into everything he sees, identifying himself with everything in order to know it and to feel it better.
