Once you learn to care, you can record images with your mind or on film. There is no difference between the two.

Photography is truth. The cinema is truth twenty-four times per second.

Photography is an immediate reaction, drawing is a meditation.

Photography has been my way of bearing witness to the joy I find in seeing the extraordinary in ordinary.

You don’t take a photograph, you make it.

The camera is much more than a recording apparatus, it is a medium via which messages reach us from another world.

I never have taken a picture I’ve intended. They’re always better or worse.
