Photography allows you to learn to look and see. You begin to see things you'd never paid attention to.

I spent a great deal of my life being ignored. I was always very happy that way. Being ignored is a great privilege. That is how I think I learned to see what others do not see and to react to situations differently. I simply looked at the world, not really prepared for anything.

I go out to take a walk, I see something, I take a picture. I take photographs. I have avoided profound explanations of what I do.

Seeing is a neglected enterprise.

The important thing in life is not what you get, but what you throw out.

When we do not know why the photographer has taken a picture and when we do not know why we are looking at it, all of a sudden we discover something that we start seeing. I like this confusion.
