I discovered that close to half the planet is 'pristine.' We live in towns such as London, Paris or Sao Paulo and have the impression that all the pristine areas are gone, but they are not.

It's more important for a photographer to have very good shoes, than to have a very good camera

The picture is not made by the photographer, the picture is more good or less good in function of the relationship that you have with the people you photograph.

The language that photography has is a formal language. Any photographer is doing something formal. If it's formal, then it must be an aesthetic way to communicate.

In GENESIS, my camera allowed nature to speak to me. And it was my privilege to listen.

I don't believe a person has a style. What people have is a way of photographing what is inside them. What is there comes out.

I'm not an artist. An artist makes an object. Me, it's not an object, I work in history, I'm a storyteller.

I believe that the average person can help a lot, not by giving material goods but by participating, by being part of the discussion, by being truly concerned about what is going on in the world.

I try with my pictures to raise a question, to provoke a debate, so that we can discuss problems together and come up with solutions.

What I want is to create a discussion about what is happening around the world and to provoke some debate with these pictures. Nothing more than this.

I tell a little bit of my life to them, and they tell a little of theirs to me. The picture itself is just the tip of the iceberg.

i've never believed in anything or anybody that needed constant praise.

The anger welled inside me, with no where to go. I could feel it eating away at me. I knew if i didn't find a way to release it, it would destroy me.

No, I am not bitter, I am not hateful, and I am not unforgiving. I just don't like you.

If I could explain golf, I'd be a genius.

I feel happy and secure when I'm on my bed with a good book... I forget everything which is terrible in our world.

People focus on things that vibrate very slowly during meditation and because they are so open they make themselves really sick, psychically.

King Abdullah has died. A divisive figure in the Middle East. The sad irony is that the USA preached democracy in the face of absolute rule.

Whatever sport you're looking at, it's usually the team that makes the least mistakes that has the most success.

To be loved is the birthright of every mewling babe, but, once grown, a man is not assured of such affection.

I do like adrenaline. Zip-lining is my favorite.
