Photography doesn't teach you to express your emotions; it teaches you how to see.

I didn't decide to be a photographer; I just happened to fall into it.

Photography can only represent the present. Once photographed, the subject becomes part of the past.

What the human eye observes casually and incuriously, the eye of the camera (the lens) notes with relentless fidelity.

Photography helps people to see.

I am so fascinated with this century it will help keep me alive. I'll be there until the last minute, fighting.

Like every other means of expression, photography, if it is to be utterly honest and direct, should be related to the life of the times - the pulse of today.

There are many teachers who could ruin you. Before you know it you could be a pale copy of this teacher or that teacher. You have to evolve on your own.

Photography can never grow up if it imitates some other medium. It has to walk alone; it has to be itself.

Some people are still unaware that reality contains unparalleled beauties. The fantastic and unexpected, the ever-changing and renewing is nowhere so exemplified as in real life itself.

Imagine a world without photography, one could only imagine.

Death is the only serious preoccupation in life.

It is a mean thief or a successful author that plunders the dead.

All my books were easy to write - doesn't it show?

Photography is the art of not pushing the button.

There are people who think that plunder loses all its immorality as soon as it becomes legal. Personally, I cannot imagine a more alarming situation.

I've never had a car. Like I can drive, but I'm always at the risk of killing people.

We say no to a lot of things so we can invest an incredible amount of care on what we do.

The way I view the works, they're more like feelings than anything else.

Life is cut to allow for growth ... one may vigorously put on weight before one fills it out entirely.

When someone pushes you down you must get up and stand on your own two feet even if your scared to do it. Only you can set limits to your success.
