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

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

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.

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

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.

Life is short. Forgive quickly. Kiss slowly.

You've got to struggle against the pollution of intelligence in order to become an animal with very sharp instincts - a sort of intuitive medium - so that to photograph becomes a magical act, and slowly other more suggestive images begin to appear behind the visible image, for which the photographer cannot be held responsible.
