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

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

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.

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

I don't usually give out advice or recipes, but you must let the person looking at the photograph go some of the way to finishing it. You should offer them a seed that will grow and open up their minds.

The marvels of daily life are exciting; no movie director can arrange the unexpected that you find in the street.

Life is short. Forgive quickly. Kiss slowly.
