I'm trying to learn more and more about what's possible.

No one moment is most important. Any moment can be something.

Sometimes I feel like . . . the world is a place I bought a ticket to. It’s a big show for me, as if it wouldn’t happen if I wasn’t there with a camera.

Photography is about finding out what can happen in the frame. When you put four edges around some facts, you change those facts.

Photography is not about the thing photographed. It is about how that thing looks photographed.

You have a lifetime to learn technique. But I can teach you what is more important than technique, how to see; learn that and all you have to do afterwards is press the shutter.

I don't have anything to say in any picture. My only interest in photography is to see what something looks like as a photograph. I have no preconceptions.

A photograph is the illusion of a literal description of how the camera 'saw' a piece of time and space.

The photograph should be more interesting or more beautiful than what was photographed

I photograph to find out what something will look like photographed.

Worship is not just what we do with our lips

Listen to your heart, it will guide you on the right path.

To lie, of course, is to engender insanity.

Adversity in the things of this world opens the door for spiritual salvation.

If a woman hasn't met the right man by the time she's 24, she may be lucky.

I think the media is a real demon.

We must strive to be like the moon

To prepare for a race there is nothing better than a good pheasant, some champagne and a woman.
