Everything is a subject. Every subject has a rhythm. To feel it is the raison detre. The photograph is a fixed moment of such a raison detre, which lives on in itself.

The camera is my tool. Through it I give a reason to everything around me.

Seeing is not enough; you have to feel what you photograph

I still regard myself as an amateur today and I hope that's what I'll stay until the end of my life. Because I'm forever a beginner who discovers the world again and again.

You do not have to imagine things; reality gives you all you need.

The photographer's art is a continuous discovery which requires patience and time.

People in motion are wonderful to photograph. It means catching the right moment... when one thing changes into something else.

I can do something with almost anything I see. Everything is still interesting to me.

Technique isn't important. Technique is in the blood. Events and mood are more important than good light and the happening is what is important

I do not document anything, I give an interpretation.

I do what I feel, that's all. I am an ordinary photographer working for his own pleasure. That's all I've ever done.

You see, the deaf have an intimacy with silence. It’s there in their dreams.

...I gave you painted air - tears I couldn't weep - truths I couldn't speak - all the words that caught in my throat...

Oh, but it's our tears that make us human, Isabel.

I had a terrible fight with my wife on New Year's Eve. She called me a procrastinator. So I finished addressing the Christmas cards and left.

But as I was saying, from my experiences, I think men tend to be more timid in expressing their feelings for you. Regardless, I always prefer a friendship first and foremost.

I want people to say, "Oh my God, I'm laughing out loud at television."

True peace of mind comes from accepting the worst. Psychologically, I think it means a release of energy.

We're a bit sensitive to blood around here. I'm sure you can understand that.

For special occasions, I love pretty dresses - but nothing too frou-frou!

The land belongs to the future.
