Nowadays people's visual imagination is so much more sophisticated, so much more developed, particularly in young people, that now you can make an image which just slightly suggests something, they can make of it what they will.

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

Life is short. Forgive quickly. Kiss slowly.

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