When you abide in the I you're abiding in the ego. The I is really the ego, the small I. It turns into the Self eventually.

The secret to peace-of-mind is to not identify with anything other than your true self.

I've been so lonely trying to become a photographer. If I'd known that before, I don't know if I had the courage to do it again. You get to a point where you feel that you have something that is your own. And if you don't find an audience for it, you are going to burst.

The photographer hopes, in brief, to discover a tension so exact that it is peace.

In a foreign country it is far from easy to study a scene at length when you know that at any minute someone may appear and ask what you are doing and that you can't answer, and you haven't many references, and you don't know the law. Neither is it easy to find and know the subjects for portraits or comfortable to make such picture when you cannot apply an anesthesia of small talk.

Again the important point to remember is that you should keep asking yourself questions. Do not make statements. Ask questions to yourself. The mind hates that.

It's in the silence that your problems just dissolve. Try it. It really works.
