Culture shock is often felt sharply at the borders between countries, but sometimes it doesn't hit fully until you've been in a place for a long time.

It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera... they are made with the eye, heart and head.

One eye of the photographer looks wide open through the viewfinder, the other, the closed looks into his own soul.

To me, photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event.

Sharpness is a bourgeois concept

In photography, the smallest thing can be a great subject. The little, human detail can become a Leitmotiv.

For me, the camera is a sketch book, an instrument of intuition and spontaneity.

Oop! The Moment! Once you miss it, it is gone forever.

Photography is an immediate reaction, drawing is a meditation.

i am a limitless series of natural disasters and all of these disasters have been unnaturally repressed.

You do ill if you praise, but worse if you censure, what you do not understand.

You've got to stay current and up with the competition. The main thing, though, is finding the greatest songs you can possibly find.

If you believe that what you’re doing will have positive results, it will— even if it’s not immediately obvious.
