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

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

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

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

Life is short. Forgive quickly. Kiss slowly.

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.

There are days when simply seeing feels like happiness itself....You feel so rich, the elation seems almost excessive and you want to share it
