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

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.

Photography is a way of shouting, of freeing oneself, not of proving or asserting one's own originality. It's a way of life.

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

Photography is an immediate reaction, drawing is a meditation.

You just have to live and life will give you pictures.

It's seldom you make a great picture. you have to milk the cow quite a lot to get plenty of milk to make a little cheese.

You think that you know what will happen... but think again!

I think that the growing government control of the press is very clear. Turkey is still not a dictatorship, there is still some freedom of the press, but I think it's moving in the wrong direction.

We are attracted to people who have traits we want in ourselves, and usually we are unattracted to people with traits that we share.

If you're going to miss 'em, miss 'em quick.

I was very much a tomboy for a long time, but as I start to get older, I realize I better actually try to preserve what I have and I better be a little conscientious about my regime.

Five hundred years ago a person in error was a person searching for the truth.

We just do not see how very specialized the use of "I know" is.

Some events are in the area of the soul where words cannot penetrate.

Shift your awareness.
