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

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

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.

If you give someone Fortran, he has Fortran. If you give someone Lisp, he has any language he pleases

But memory, after a time, dispenses its own emphasis, making a feuilleton of what we once thought most ponderable, laying its wreath on what we never thought to recall.

I've never been somebody who blew up overnight, I've never been somebody who everyone talked about all at once, but I've had this really cool slow build.

You exist but as a part inherent in a greater whole. Do not live as though you had a thousand years before you. The common due impends; while you live, and while you may, be good.

I have a crush on your mind, I fell for your personality and your looks are just a big bonus.
