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

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.

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 admired a tremendous number of photographers, but for some reason I arrived at a point of view of my own.

A window covered with raindrops interests me more than a photograph of a famous person.

I don’t have a philosophy. I have a camera.
