A still photograph is something which you can always go back to. You can put it on your wall and look at it again and again. Because it is that frozen moment. I think it tends to burn into your psyche. It becomes ingrained in your mind. A powerful picture becomes iconic of a place or a time or a situation.

What matters most is that each picture stands on its own with its own place and feeling.

I think life is too short not to be doing something which you really believe in.

My life is shaped by the urgent need to wander and observe, and my camera is my passport.

We photographers say that we take a picture, and in a certain sense, that is true. We take something from people's lives, but in doing so we tell their story.

For those who were desperate, my camera became an object of hope (...)Throughout my year-long coverage of the monsoon world, my strongest conviction was that I was involved in the fundamentals of life.

If you wait, people will forget your camera, and the soul will drift up into view.
