Life is short. Forgive quickly. Kiss slowly.

I prefer my hesitations, my false paths, my stammering, to a preconceived idea.

The photographer must be absorbent - like a blotter, allow himself to be permeated by the poetic moment... His technique should be like an animal function... he should act automatically.

I hate collectors, the ones who take something just for themselves.

To suggest is to create; to describe is to destroy.

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.

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