Things happen in front of you. That's perhaps the most wonderful and mysterious aspect of photography.

I didn't want to let women down. One of the stereotypes I see breaking is the idea of aging and older women not being beautiful.

One doesn't stop seeing. One doesn't stop framing. It doesn't turn off and turn on. It's on all the time.

Everyone has a point of view. Some people call it style, but what we're really talking about is the guts of a photograph. When you trust your point of view, that's when you start taking pictures.

When I say I want to photograph someone, what it really means is that I'd like to know them. Anyone I know I photograph.

A thing that you see in my pictures is that I was not afraid to fall in love with these people.

A lot can be told from what happens in between the main moments.

I wish that all of nature's magnificence, the emotion of the land, the living energy of place could be photographed.

Nature is so powerful, so strong. Capturing its essence is not easy - your work becomes a dance with light and the weather. It takes you to a place within yourself.

I feel a responsibility to my backyard. I want it to be taken care of and protected.

I'm more interested in being good than being famous.

With bread and wine you can walk your road.

I cannot think of a country in which I would be happy with the government and dominant ideology and available propaganda.

As far as show business, it's the gratification of doing something that pleases the fans.

Pleasure, so called, is the murderer of serious thought. This is the age of excessive amusement. Everybody craves for it, like a babe for its rattle!

I want to be successful, not famous.

Economics exists to make astrology look respectable.

It's okay to be scared, but fear is different. Fear is when we let being scared prevent us from doing what love requires of us.

I'm a sarcastic person. I learn through humor.

I have tons of regrets, but I think that's one of the reasons that push people to create things. Out of their angst, their regret, comes the best from artists, painters and writers.

I very seldom compose anything in my head which later finds its way into text, except character names sometimes - I'm often very much inspired by things that I misunderstand.
