I don't photograph life as it is, but life as I would like it to be.

If I knew how to take a good photograph, I'd do it every time.

When people talk to me about picture hunters, I very quietly laugh. I'm not a hunter of pictures, I'm a fisher of pictures.

A photographer who made a picture from a splendid moment, an accidental pose of someone or a beautiful scenery, is the finder of a treasure.

If you take photos, don't speak, don't write, don't analyze yourself, and don't answer any questions.

For a photographer, the first 70 years are a bit difficult, but after that things get better.

A hundredth of a second here, a hundredth of a second there-even if you put them end to end, they still only add up to one, two, perhaps three seconds, snatched from eternity.
