A photographer who made a picture from a splendid moment, an accidental pose of someone or a beautiful scenery, is the finder of a treasure.

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

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

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.

Photography is very subjective. Photography is not a document on which a report can be made. It is a subjective document. Photography is a false witness, a lie.

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