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 want to be a photographer, you have to photograph.

Some of the great pictures happen along the journey and not necessarily at your destination.

The definition of a great picture is one that stays with you, one that you can't forget. It doesn't have to be technically good at all.

It’s important for you to spend your time photographing things that matter to you. You need to understand the things that have meaning to you, and not what others think is important for you.

If you want to be a photographer, first leave home

I think life is too short not to be doing something which you really believe in. Whether you're photographing for yourself, for your job, whether you photograph on the weekends or everyday or once in a while, the main point is having fun and to be exercising your curiosity and to be really in love with what you are doing.
